How do you alter the TimeOut?
I'm trying to download the Business Times (of India) and it always crashes after 90 minutes.. which leads me to believe it is a timout problem. Is there a way to extend the timeout for a download -either for one recipie or globally?
Thank you in advance Beamer Smith |

If a recipe is taking ninety minutes to download, its probably broken and needs to be updated for website changes.

I believe Kovid is right... but you can extend the timeout by going to Preferences, then Miscellaneous. I had to do this for the New York Times... it varies a bit day by day, but to be sure it doesn't time out, I had to increase the default to 45 minutes.

I will give that a try while waiting for the original "creator" to look at it..
Thank you both |

Times of India Recipe Fix
I think Times of India Recipe is trying to aggregate way too much info and now the Times of India site presents articles, videos and blogs all interspersed leading to a painful content for Kindle.
Moreover, the print article URLs have changed. Here is my update for articles only: Code:
__license__ = 'GPL v3' __copyright__ = '2008-2014, Karthik <hashkendistro@gmail.com>' ''' timesofindia.indiatimes.com ''' from calibre.web.feeds.news import BasicNewsRecipe class TheEconomicTimes(BasicNewsRecipe): title = 'The Times of India' __author__ = 'Sambit Kumar Dash' description = 'News from the Indian daily Times of India' publisher = 'timesofindia.indiatimes.com' category = 'news, finances, politics, sports, business, entertainment, India' oldest_article = 1 max_articles_per_feed = 100 no_stylesheets = True use_embedded_content = False simultaneous_downloads = 1 encoding = 'utf-8' language = 'en_IN' publication_type = 'newspaper' masthead_url = 'http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/photo.cms?msid=2419189' extra_css = """ body{font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif} .foto_mg{font-size: 60%; font-weight: 700;} h1{font-size: 150%;} artdate{font-size: 60%} artag{font-size: 60%} div.storycontent{padding-top: 10px} """ conversion_options = {'comment' : description, 'tags' : category, 'publisher' : publisher, 'language' : language } remove_tags_before = dict(name='h1') remove_tags_after = dict(name='div', attrs={'class':'storycontent'}) remove_attributes = ['xmlns'] remove_tags = [dict(name='div', attrs={'class':'readalso'})] feeds = [('Recent Stories', 'http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/rssfeeds/1221656.cms'), ('India', 'http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/rssfeeds/-2128936835.cms'), ('World', 'http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/rssfeeds/296589292.cms'), ('Business', 'http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/rssfeeds/1898055.cms'), ('Cricket', 'http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/rssfeeds/4719161.cms'), ('Sports', 'http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/rssfeeds/4719148.cms'), ('Tech', 'http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/rssfeeds/5880659.cms'), ('Education', 'http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/rssfeeds/913168846.cms'), ('Science', 'http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/rssfeeds/-2128672765.cms'), ('Opinion', 'http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/rssfeeds/784865811.cms'), ('Entertainment', 'http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/rssfeeds/1081479906.cms')] #Uses the mobile print version.
