Ever since the Harry Potter Fanfiction site "Potions and Snitches" moved from http://www.potionsandsnitches.net/ to http://www.potionsandsnitches.org/  my calibre Fanfiction Downloader does not work.  I went and changed all the URLs in Calibre to the new pages on the dot ORG site, however, the update function doesn't work.

For example, I am reading/collecting Whitetail's "The Summer We Went Mental." From the dot NET site, I have saved up to chapter 26.  However, the dot ORG site has chapters up to 30, which means there are four additional chapters that I can't get downloaded and appended to the story.

Then I thought, ok, so maybe it wants the whole story downloaded from the same place, so I renamed my existing 26 chapter copy, removed its IDS URL, and tried to download the story from the dot ORG site as if it were completely new to Calibre. But that too failed.  It seems that Calibre doesn't recognize the dot ORG site as a place from which it can download stories.

I've changed as many of my P&S URLs from P&S to Fanfiction.Net as possible because of this, and I'm NOT at all fond of ffnet's policies of delete stories or accounts and not ask questions.

Thanks in advance for any possible assistance!

Oh, and I'm using the Calibre program on my desktop computer, with the FFDL plug-in.

The problem is, I don't read 90% of the sites that FFDL supports. So
when one of them changes their domain, I don't know about it until
somebody tells me. :-)

I've posted a new test version that works with potionsandsnitches.org
and potionsandsnitches.net, changing existing .net stories to .org.
