Look up in the thread, were all getting it

Hi,

I'm getting 'File is not a zip file' when trying to download specific stories. It's always the same ones and after looking at this thread, I tried restarting my computer. Didn't work.

When I turned on my computer after restarting it, calibre said that my library was corrupted and needed to be checked.

I store my library on Onedrive so I can share it between my laptop and my PC. Just came back from a vacation where I used the laptop to update my library overseas, just came back yesterday and PC has been giving me those errors since then.

Edit: Updating metadata and then trying to download does not work. Nor does trying to download as a new book or overwriting the existing book.

Don't do that! Calibre does not handle cloud storages.

Does that mean I should delete the books that get the errors and re-download them?

As ownedbycats said, Calibre is known to have various issues with cloud file stores. The general advice is "Don't."

An epub format ebook is a zip file following certain standards for contents. If your epub isn't recognized as a zip file anymore, there's nothing FanFicFare can do about.

Instead of using FFF's update feature, change the mode to Overwrite Always for the books that have this problem. That's at least a bit easier than deleting and then re-downloading.
