I was adding a book by isbn so I could store the metadata info with my review [no actual file] and when I clicked on "download metadata only" I received this error:
Spoiler:
calibre, version 2.80.0 (win32, embedded-python: True)
Failed to download metadata: Failed: Download metadata for one book

First, Avast had blocked calibre parallel from running, so I uninstalled it. But I still get the above error. Restarted my computer after the Avast uninstall too.
I am running windows10, with Calibre64 2.8.
The book was "The One Kingdom" by Sean Russell with isbn of 9780061862533.
Thank you.
