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.

Starting Bulk Download job

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!
Switching from WiFi to Ethernet may change nothing as it is the IP of your router, not the PC's ports
