Downloading bulk metadata - even for one book - keeps hanging. I am able to download metadata when I'm editing the metadata.

I restarted calibre in debug mode, but there was no printout at all during bulk download. I already waited over 10 minutes to download metadata for one book.

I also reduced the metadata sources to only one (I tried Google and Goodreads as standalone source) - but it worked as mentioned above.

Job is "Waiting", but I could wait for an hour and wouldn't happen anything.

It works inside Edit Metadata.

I'm using Calibre 9.5.

I tried:
- restart calibre
- restart Windows
and just to be sure (but since it's work for inside Edit Metadata, shouldn't change the behaviour)
- switch from WIFI to Ethernet
- use VPN

Any ideas? Thanks!
