The attempt to connect over the internet is failing. That means:
- you have an outgoing firewall that is blocking connections
- you use a proxy and have not configured it
- (edit) calibre thinks that there is a proxy when there isn't
- your dns isn't working

If you are connecting to the internet through a proxy, have you done what is needed to tell calibre? I know that calibre looks for proxy information in some 'standard' places, but I don't know where they are. If all else fails, you could use the http_proxy environment variable.
