Hello,

I use Calibre on Mac OX 10.6. I hadn't updated it in awhile (I was using the version from maybe 3 or 4 updates ago?) and noticed a week or so ago that it flat out stopped downloading metadata and covers. It says "working" and never finishing searching. It previously worked great! I thought that updating it would solve the problem, and I still have the same issues.

Also, in an effort to see if downloading from different sites worked, I tried to install the Goodreads and Barnes and Noble plugins. When I try to add a new plugin, Calibre freezes completely and I have to force quit.

Like I said, this problem just started so I don't think it could be an issue with firewalls or my router. Any other ideas? Thanks for the help.
