I have tried several, or rather many, different books and keep getting the same error. I'm trying to subscribe through iTunes, but everytime I click the link in the individual title it gives me the same error. The first popup states, (for this example I've used the address of Vindication of the Rights of Women):

itcp://librivox.org/bookfeeds/a-vindication-of-the-rights-of-woman-by-mary-wollstonecraft.xml
The process terminated unexpectedly.

The next popup states:
Internext Explorer cannot open this helper application for itcp://librivox.org/bookfeeds/a-vindication-of-the-rights-of-woman-by-mary-wollstonecraft.xml.
The protocop specified in this address is not valid. Make sure the address is correct, and try again.

Is this a problem with my iTunes application or is there a problem on your end?

I don't know how to fix this. That link doesn't work in firefox or chrome either :)

Tell her to copy this part of the link:

librivox.org/bookfeeds/a-vindication-of-the-rights-of-woman-by-mary-wollstonecraft.xml

and paste it into iTunes under Advanced -> Subscribe to Podcast

(have just tested and it works fine that way)

Hmm. Just noticed that it should be ITPC. If this has happened for several books, we've got a problem.

Ok.. the catalog page has it correctly: itpc://librivox.org/bookfeeds/a-vindication-of-the-rights-of-woman-by-mary-wollstonecraft.xml and it works fine in Chrome anyway.

So I have no idea why it's not working for her. I guess she typed the whole thing out in her email, rather than copy/pasting? Don't see any other way she could have transposed those characters.
