BibTeX - Import doesn't work

cirrus
Hello everyone,

I tried to import a BibTeX file into Zotero and got an error message after some seconds.
Here is the sample BibTeX file, I tried to import:
http://www.cip.ifi.lmu.de/~kahlan/Bibliothek.bib
I just downloaded Zotero, so my version should be the newest.

Does Zotero prefer certain encodings or line endings (\n ?)

Thanks for any hints
Andreas

    It didn't work for me either. I exported my bibliography (built with OOo's internal tools), but when I tried to import that same file, I always got the following error:

    "An error occurred while trying to import the selected file. Please ensure that the file is valid and try again."

    I stripped out all non-item text. No joy. I had to strip out all @www references for it to work.

    I notice that Zotero's exported BibTeX files list www items under @misc. Is it not setup to handle @www items?
