44K books is a huge number to add all at once.

True Calibre does not have a stated 'at one time' limit, 44K books is more than most people have in their Library, let alone added all at one git-go.

The only time I did a big import was when I added all the titles (1 format) from the Baen CD's. Even that was done 1 CD at a time.

44K is a LOT of metadata to fix (and identify) if the books don't already contain excellent metadata (and covers)

20% implies 8K books were successfully imported before the OP deleted the attempt .
Breaking that 44K up into 5K chunks would probably get to the end quickest.

If the OP has a full backup of the source books, they could setup and use the AutoAdd folder. Moving a bunch of books to that folder, then move some more when the folder becomes empty
