Ok, so when I am talking about metadata downloading I am not talking about the whole "download metadata and covers" I am talking about one book downloading at a time and making sure it's right before going on to the next book and pushing "download metadata".

That people don't realize that there are options when it comes to this - it's a huge problem. If someone starting out with Calibre and are not very computer saavy they click on the "download metadata" button not really knowing what that means or what will happen, and unless they have their book formatted correctly already or has an accurate ISBN - if they end up without getting their book found they are most likely going to think it's a waste of time to bother. Then they go about the arduous task of hand doing EVERYTHING.
