Hi,

Recently moved to a Win8.1 machine from a WinXP one. Also moved to 64-bit v2 version of Calibre. That all went very smooth.

However, as I've been adding books in the 64bit v2 Calibre I've notice that bulk downloading of metadata seems to return closer to 100% hits than v1 did. But that some of the hits are incorrect. And not just by a little either.

For example

Code:

		Original / Downloaded
Title: Darkness on a Pale Blue Stone / Stone Age Alpha
Author: D.T. Peterson / Edward N. Peterson
Identifiers: mobi-asin:B00BEBGYX6 / isbn:0952699818

Just downloaded metadata for 10 books, and 4 out of 10 including the example above had wrong metadata downloaded.

If I go back and download the metadata individually from the "Edit Metadata" screen, I can see and select the right set of metadata.

Is there anything I can do to better ensure the right meta data is downloaded. Or at least, that the wrong metadata is not. I've been making use of the "review downloaded metadata". Which is helpful, but I'd rather not get anything instead of a mismatch.

Thanks!
