Thank you!

I have just tested it, and it doesn't seem to work for me? I disabled all other metadata sources and this is the error I get when I run metadata download for a book that I know has all the details on fictiondb:

Quote:
calibre, version 5.42.0
ERROR: Download failed: Failed to download metadata or cover for the selected book.

The Five Misfits (Failed metadata)
The IP it is connecting to appears to be 188.114.96.16 / www.fictiondb.com which when I look it up is a Cloudflare service...


https://www.fictiondb.com/title/the-...na~1209356.htm

Please let me know if there is something I am doing wrong.
