Both "The Economist News" and "The Economist Espresso" keep failing
Both these recipes fail to download and both show the error message:
ValueError: Server is not reachable, try again after some time. And "trying again after some time" just results in more failures. I don't have the Espresso scheduled for download but tried it today just to see if it would work. It didn't. But I do have the Economist News scheduled for daily download and the last successful download was over a week ago, March 26th. And prior to that it was kind of hit and miss. I also have the full Economist Magazine scheduled for weekly download and that one is always successful. Must be a different server from the other two "daily" versions. |

I'm experiencing persistent issues with both "The Economist" and "The Economist Espresso" recipes. The errors have been occurring for more than 20 hours now, and I'm hoping someone might have a solution or insight. Error Details:
Thank you, Liam Parker |
