Error downloading the Economist

happyclam · 03-25-2021, 04:05 PM

Tried the past few days (last week's edition and the current one) and they download as 0.4mb size (whereas past issues were average 5-7mb) and just shows the titles of the sections, nothing else.

I'm running the latest version of Calibre on a Mac (latest version of OS and everything else). Happy to send a $10 tip to anyone who can help fix this one!

Same problem here (calibre 5.13)

tokjdm · 03-25-2021, 07:36 PM

Tried on a different machine with Calibre 4.17. Problem is the same

Why not post the log from calibre showing the error(s). Probably the web site has changed and the recipe needs an update.

Remember that the recipes are independent from the calibre version, so that if / when changes are made to the recipe, calibre will download the recipe before using it.

Thank you for the prompt reply.
I am not sure I know what do to next.
I checked lines 52 and 53 in the modified recipes but could not find any differences with the one already in Calibre. I downloaded the changed recipe and tried to add it as a new recipe from file but got a compile error at line 7

You dont need to do anything. Just redownload.

Still not working for me. March 28, 2021.

I'm using Calibre on Linux, version 3.21.

I just ran that recipe yesterday and it worked with no problem... In fact, it's the one recipe that seems to run without hanging lately.

Upgraded, and now it works! Thank you for your quick response and all of your amazing work with Calibre. I know I am just one person of millions who really appreciate you.
