Unhappy Metadata Download Problems

Windows 10
Calibre 3.20 64 bit

Some sources work such as Amazon, others such as Google, Google Images and Goodreads result in "Hung worker".

I have made sure Windows Firewall has proper exceptions for calibre.exe and calibre-parallel.exe.
I have disabled Avast Webshields.

No difference. Help, please?
