i have 20mb broadband - nothing else running, browsesr works instantly like always. & we're surely talking about a trival number of data packets here ?

I retried some previous ones where the ISBN had already been found - a couple worked but even those took approx 10 seconds each !.
I went back to isbndb.com for which you need an access key & checked my usage - 187 out of 500 per day allowed so it's not that.
re ran caibre installer - repair option, that made no difference either.

an author + title serach for hitchhikers guide to the galaxy is hanging for over 30 secs then reporting stalled - surely that's not a hard to find book ?

hmm - UPDATE that one actually finally appeared while I was typing previous sentence. getting the cover took another 5 seconds.
let me try one more... restaurant at end of universe - 15 seconds to return search results - then another 5 seconds to get the cover.

so it's now wokting again, but very slowly - wheras it timed out/stalled on both of those titles an hour ago.
is there any way to debug this further.?

maybe both the medatdata servers get very busy at this time of day ???
