Downloading covers (bug?)

Hello,

I've just noticed that when I try to download covers for my books in calibre, it no longer displays several covers from various sources (in my case: Google, Google Image and Amazon) but only one cover from Amazon.

I first thought that it was an internet/downloading problem, as it happened before, but usually, it still displays some covers, and not always from Amazon, and it resolve itself when I search again or at most a few hours later/when my connexion gets better.
But I've got no connection problems right now and it's been 48 hours, and I've still been unable to see more than one cover from Amazon every time I do a search.

I could be that there is only an Amazon cover to download on the net for the books I'm looking for, but I was searching for Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas, one of the most well-known authors right now, so I doubt it (plus I tried for my Harry Potter books, just to be sure: same results).

Something I noticed is that it doesn't wait 60s after the first cover is found to stop the search, like I set it up, it stop the search really quickly.
I've tried to uncheck Amazon as a source, but it only stop searching really quickly.

From the few tests I've done, I think that it's either a case of the search shutting down too quickly so only Amazon has the time to download, or the other sources are broken.

Here is the log of one of my tries: (My checked sources for this one are Amazon, Google, Google Image and Open Library)
