I am, but I couldn't tell if it was a calibre issue or something at the target sites (google or isbndb). The reason I was thinking it might be the target sites is because it's mostly been affecting books w/out ISBN numbers. Few retailers put an ISBN number in the metadata, and the ones that do are inconsistent. I can usually get the ISBN by downloading the metadata, but now those books are the ones that are timing out, stalling, or just taking a very long time when I do get a result. I've been able to get most of them if I try a few times, but it really is taking forever.

Books with ISBN numbers get results pretty quickly, no change there. In fact, for some of them I went to Amazon, grabbed the ISBN, then downloaded the rest of the metadata.

I first noticed it last night when I finally got around to updating the free classics I got from B&N the other day, and then today I was working on some files I downloaded from the library here at MR. I'm using 0.7.46 on Vista.
