Thanks for the encouragement, theducks. I turned off Overdrive, which was by far the slowest element of my attempted metadata downloads, rebooted my router to get a new external IP address in case my previous mass attempts had gotten me filtered, and started downloading in smaller chunks, eventually working up to 150 books at a time, which seems to take about an hour and twenty minutes. It's been working fine and I am almost done getting metadata for this library.

In my frustration I had spent two days writing an Autohotkey script to do metadata downloads myself, but still hadn't figured out how to write all the metadata to the PDF, so I am really glad I got Calibre working.
