IEEE Xplore automatically store pdf

hbjmys
I have been using Zotero for 2 years, and I always use it to capture pdfs from IEEE Xplore. I use Firefox 14.0.1 (mac os x 10.8), Zotero 3.08 for my browser. Suddenly today it stops capturing pdfs... I have tried to "Accept Third Party Cookies", and it doesn't solve the problem. It seems IEEE has changed something on their website again... Any one has the same problem?
The website I try to use zotero
http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?tp=&arnumber=6015515&contentType=Journals+%26+Magazines&searchField%3DSearch_All%26queryText%3Dofs

While in the meantime, other website also stops working...

Anyone has the same problem?

Thanks~

    still works for me on both sites.
    Are you still having this problem?
    You're sure you have access to those pdfs from where you try to download them?
    Are the URLs you provide the ones that you see in the URL bar or do you use a university proxy (that would look something like
    http://prl.aps.org.ezproxy.youruniversity.edu/abstract/PRL/v93/i11/e116804 ).

    Thanks for replying. I am still havae this problem, and the problem occurs both in my window 7 PC and OS X 10.8 Macbook Pro...
    And I am pretty sure I have the access to those pdfs, (my university purchase them)
    URLs are exactly the one I see in the URL bar, there is no university proxy...
    It seems to be very strange...

    There is no reason to be "pretty sure" about this: Do you see links to pdfs on those two pages and if you click on them does the pdf open without additional authentication?

    If so, double check that the "automatically attach pdfs" option is still checked in the general tab of the Zotero preferences, then provide a debug ID for importing one of the items above:

    The reason I am pretty sure is that I still have to work with those paper yesterday and today, so what I do is to download them manually and attach them to the items in the zotero library. Then I just tried again to double check, it is true that I can download them without any authentication notification, but Zotero just won't take the pdfs automatically.

    Also I've already checked that "automatically attach pdfs" option is stil checked. That's why I am saying it is strange. Debug ID D1977448662.

    Thanks~

    Dan, Simon - anything useful in the debug?

    @Dan, Simon

    If you still have access to these Debug IDs, is there anything useful there? Sorry for the late reply. I'm cleaning up my bookmarks.
