OK - I'd turned the firewall off, but for some reason this wasn't enough. Uninstalling the firewall fixed the problem.

Do you mean the "Show Details" button when the DL has finished?

Is it possible to filter the list of books to show only authors for whom a single book exists within the library?

I can report the same issue with the Favourites plugin.
