I find that interesting AnselmD that it worked under win7 32 but not under win7x64. it SHOULDNT be trouble with ip, since my ip hasnt changed in 6 months.

At my 32bit i wrongly used amazon_uk, therefore i did not get an error.
If i get the error, i (sometimes) can open the IE at my windows PC and it ask me for the Captures and if i solved them, the errors within calibre (which is meanwhile running at my ubuntu PC) vanished. With Firefox and Chrome i do not get the capture question, i think it is because calibre uses an IE UA string (see Change UA string for amazon metadata download to IE 11 on win 7 · kovidgoyal/calibre@e73972e · GitHub
https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibr...5202bf567d0abc)
Therefore i think switching between different UA strings can help. Personally i would prefer not to have an IE UA at my ubuntu PC, because i am not able to solve the Captures there.
I would like to have some wait time or random-wait time (like in wget) to be more amazon friendly. Maybe an additional option to wait some more time after a fixed number of books.
On the other side rebooting my router/cable modem and getting a new IPv4 address helps too. I would like to pause the metadata batch download within calibre, in the meanwhile, but this is not possible. Aborting it does not help, because calibre abort the complete job and not only the downloading part.
