Bug Description
I've been using Calibre for a to get the NY Times on my Nook. I have a full digital subscription, no issues doing this daily. Beginning yesterday the NY times fetch would fail (direct or scheduled). I upgraded to newest calibre version 1.43 (64bit), and same issues. I do not have issues fetching other news sources (National Geographic and the Economist). Is this my pc (running Windows 7, 64 bit) or calibre? I have attached the conversion error details report as a txt file.
Thanks in advance, my first reported bug.

Conversion Error: Failed: Fetch news from New York Times

This is caused by one the nyt articles having a URL that is so long
that it becomes longer than the maximum path windows can handle. You can
either wait a few days for that article to no longer be downloaded, or
workaround it by setting the CALIBRE_TEMP_DIR environment variable to
something short like c:\temp or wait for the next calibre release, which
will auto-truncate these long filenames.
