Hello everyone!
Topic may be kinda ambiguous, but it's really simple:
When I'm trying to download metadata (using ctrl+d) for many books, i often encounter one which has more than 1 possibilities in search results (found that using manual download from edit metadata window). And then, sometimes the process freezes - it's not like calibre stops responding, i can abort the operation, no problem. But it won't decide which result should it pick, so when i check like 1000 books to get metadata overnight, it'll freeze on 5th-7th and for the rest of time will do totally nothing. Is there any way around that issue? Like, maybe, hard timeout - if no metadata had been picked for over two minutes calibre will skip that book and head to next one?
