Metadata, plugin update problems
For about a week now, whenever I try to use the "Download Metadata" function, it always fails to find anything, with an error like
calibre, version 0.8.38 ERROR: No matches found: <p>Failed to find any books that match your search. Try making the search <b>less specific</b>.

Can anyone advise me how to resolve these errors? |

Fix the proxy settings used in internet explorer (calibre automatically uses those settings)
