I am trying to download metadata/covers for a lot of files. The Calibre 100 file prompt is becoming an issue. For example if I select 2000 files and choose download metadata in bulk, it will popup a prompt after each 100 files asking if I want to write the metadata. Is there anyway to make Calibre not prompt me and just go ahead and write the metadata?
Grabbing 2000 files of metadata is not really very nice to the FREE hosts (servers) we take advantage of

Calibre usage has been blocked to some smaller sites as it severely impacted their PAYING customers and internal usage.

100 books a chunk is still a fairly stiff hit on some of these servers.
Add to that by number of Calbre users getting any Metadata at any moment, and the fetch hit is quite large.

So I suggest that 100 is not a terrible number to take a pause at, and look over what you just got, while giving them a break between grabs.
