Hi, thanks for the answers!

What is the timeout duration before it should return with the error message that the download has stalled and one should try again later?

I imagine your time-out for the book cover download is something less than 10 minutes though? If you click on either the "Edit Meta Information" window during the download attempt, there is no response while its still attempting the download, but if you come back after ~10 minutes and click on the window, it goes straight into "not responding" mode.

I've manually updated about 180 books, and while mostly, the covers download fine, or prompt me to try again, it hangs often enough to where I save my freshly entered meta info first and then come back for the cover.

When I tried to have it fetch meta data for all books overnight, it failed, that's why I was looking for an ISBN column, so you can enter the ISBN number for a lot of books and then download all the meta data in one shot. Because in my manual fetching, finding anything without ISBN is a less than 50% chance, hence my overnight attempt stalling out.

I found your info on setting up Bazaar, but I'm still learning Python, even though I've been in software development for many years, was always just responsible for the UI design...
