Which is exactly what I do - i.e. download first,
but I then I click OK (to save what's there) which puts me back to the book list - and then I fix any other columns that need fixing - usually in the Book list via F2.
Ah ha - in metadata edit config I have Author and Title unchecked, I set those in the file name before I add the book.

So now I get no tags downloaded (I know you can change the number which download but I prefer to just do my own)

I'm the same on the tags, never download them, same with ratings.
I'm not saying you must do a save after downloads, I'm just saying that's what I do. I think I started doing it as described when I had similar problems as yourself, which was soon after I started using calibre in Mar 2012.
We have an popular adage down here - "When you're onto a good thing stick to it."
