Metadata not being pasted into box

I have used several versionsof this great prog for a while now without to much trouble (usually my fault!!) but I am suddenly not getting the data pasted into the page. I click download metadat and the box opens and says wait and then nothing. When I check the log the data is there but it does not appear in the box. My problem is that it is not consistant sometimes it does what it's supposed to but then nothing. Has anyone come across this before? I thought it might be because I'd updated to 0.8.7 so uninstalled and went back to 0.8.6 but that's just the same. I am using Goodread, Google, Amazon and ISBNDB.
This is a sample of what I get in the log but nothing appears in the main box.
I left this one running for 10 minutes to see if anything happened ie timeout or something but all that was happening is that it was still saying please wait and the dotted line kept going.

Review
'Jean Auel's amazing, ground-breaking series reaches a stunning conclusion. . . . . If you ever wondered what it was like for the first reasoning humans, this is the perfect way to learn. It's as though Auel has opened up a time portal, travelled with and lived with actual human beings as they begin their journey towards the people we are today. Moving and majestic, this story sweeps all before it and encompasses everything we know about our ancestors as they trek through central Europe and set up home in the caves there. All life is here in all its glory, the loves, the jealousy, the rivalry, the medicines . . . A compelling historical drama with every modern trait of the human being, but set in the days when the world was young. Magnificent, and a privilege to be able to read it. You must read this.' (_Books Monthly_ )
'She deftly creates a whole world, giving a sense of the origins of class, ethnic and cultural differences that alternately divide and fascinate us today. Among modern epic spinners, Auel has few peers.' (_Kirkus Reviews_ )
'Incredibly poignant and relevant to today' (_Sun_ 4 stars )
'She does have a most extraordinary talent for recreating lost worlds' (Kate Saunders, Books Quarterly )
Product Description
THE LAND OF PAINTED CAVES concludes the story of Ayla, her mate Jondalar, and their little daughter, Jonayla, taking readers on a journey of discovery and adventure as Ayla struggles to find a balance between her duties as a new mother and her training to become a Zelandoni - one of the Ninth Cave community's spiritual leaders and healers.
Once again, Jean Auel combines her brilliant narrative skills and appealing characters with a remarkable re-creation of the way life was lived thousands of years ago, rendering the terrain, dwelling places, longings, beliefs, creativity and daily lives of Ice Age Europeans as real to the reader as today's news.

You're having networking trouble. Look at all the timeouts in the log. The final queries to xisbn to merge the metadata are also probably timing out, which is causing it to hang.

Hi again,

Had my network checked and it seems to be running fine but I am still having problems. The following was copied from the clipboard after I left it running for 15 minutes (the info was there within seconds!). I left it running and it was still running after 30 min when I closed it. There are no timeouts, it just does not seem to acknowledge any info is there to be displayed. I have updated to the 0.8.8 but the results are the same.
Any pointers would be helpful and appreciated.

Title : Glimpses of the Moon
Author(s) : Edith Wharton
Publisher : Pushkin Press
Identifiers : isbn:9781901285567
Comments : NICK LANSING and Susy Branch are young, attractive, but impoverished New Yorkers. They are in love and decide to marry, but realise their chances of happiness are slim without the wealth and society that their more privileged friends take for granted. Nick and Susy agree to separate when either encounters a more eligible proposition. However, as they honeymoon in friends' lavish houses, from a villa on Lake Como to a Venetian palace, jealous passions and troubled consciences cause the idyll to crumble. Edith Wharton has perceptively described the choices faced by Nick and Susy; the same dilemma still facing those seduced by the pleasures of society.

Author(s) : Edith Wharton
Publisher : Aegypan
Identifiers : isbn:9781598183634
Comments : Edith Wharton's The Glimpses of the Moon is a lot of things -- it's a love story, a drama by Edith Wharton, a story with a happy ending -- but one things's certain: it isn't dull. Two New York society folks, Susy Branch and Nick Lansing, decide to marry -- for business reasons, as it were. They're in love, all right, but neither of them has enough money to live life the way they think it ought to be lived. They'll get married, collect lot of wedding bootie -- then they'll go their separate ways. It might work as a farce from someone else, but this is Edith Wharton, and the tale as she tells it is deeper and more compelling than could ever be described here. . . .

Comments : <p>Set in the 1920s, The Glimpses of the Moon details the romantic misadventures of Nick Lansing and Susy Branch, a couple with the right connections but not much in the way of funds. They devise a shrewd bargain: they'll marry and spend a year or so sponging off their wealthy friends, honeymooning in their mansions and villas.How their plan unfolds is a comedy of eros that will charm all fans of Wharton's work.</p>

Comments : Websters paperbacks take advantage of the fact that classics are frequently assigned readings in English courses. By using a running English-to-French thesaurus at the bottom of each page, this edition of The Glimpses of the Moon by Edith Wharton was edited for three audiences. The first includes French-speaking students enrolled in an English Language Program (ELP), an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) program, an English as a Second Language Program (ESL), or in a TOEFL or TOEIC preparation program. The second audience includes English-speaking students enrolled in bilingual education programs or French speakers enrolled in English-speaking schools. The third audience consists of students who are actively building their vocabularies in French in order to take foreign service, translation certification, Advanced Placement (AP) or similar examinations. By using the Webster's French Thesaurus Edition when assigned for an English course, the reader can enrich their vocabulary in anticipation of an examination in French or English.TOEFL, TOEIC, AP and Advanced Placement are trademarks of the Educational Testing Service which has neither reviewed nor endorsed this book. All rights reserved.Websters edition of this classic is organized to expose the reader to a maximum number of difficult and potentially ambiguous English words. Rare or idiosyncratic words and expressions are given lower priority compared to difficult, yet commonly used words. Rather than supply a single translation, many words are translated for a variety of meanings in French, allowing readers to better grasp the ambiguity of English, and avoid them using the notes as a pure translation crutch. Having the reader deciphera words meaning within context serves to improve vocabulary retention and understanding. Each page covers words not already highlighted on previous pages. If a difficult

Comments : 'She wondered if, when human souls try to get too near each other, they do not inevitably become mere blurs to each other's vision.' Susy Branch learned early that to thrive without money in a society driven by wealth one must dissemble, flatter and sometimes even drop one's moral guard in order to share a little of one's host's luxury and leisure. Nick Lansing has also learned and wearied of the same lesson. Despite the foolishness of their romance - for each should be seeking a partner of means - they decide to marry. By combining their skills they should be able to enjoy a year's invitations and happiness before they need face reality. But love makes its own exacting demands and its costs can also be high . . .

This happens to me occasionally. (I do have a terrible connection at present)
I have had logs similiar to the above.
Usually it finishes eventually, but if it doesn't I try again later and it is fine.

As per that log, it is hanging waiting to hear back from the xisbn service. I'll change it for the next release so that it times out after a few seconds if xisbn does not respond.

Thanks again for the very fast response, it makes it seem that we count. Anyway, I saw another thread and the guy said he's shut off isbnd so I tried it and it now works great. In fact it's the best it's ever been, lightning fast and even without an isbn number it still finds the book. This is one thing I have a problem with since I 1st installed the program and now it just does exactly what it's supposed to do. Brilliant!!!
