Hey everyone. I recently downloaded Calibre 2.62. Within a day or so, I started getting the following captcha error when downloading metadata from Amazon:

Downloading from Amazon.com took 19.1949999332
get_details failed for url: [REDACTED]
Traceback (most recent call last):

CaptchaError: Amazon returned a CAPTCHA page, probably because you downloaded too many books. Wait for some time and try again.

I'm not doing anything different than what I've always done (e.g. making excessive queries), so I was wondering if it might be an issue with Calibre. One thing I notice is that in the "request extra headers" portion of the log, the user-agent is now always the same. In older versions, didn't the user-agent randomly change every time a query is made? Is it possible that Amazon is throwing a captcha because it's getting too many requests with the same user-agent?
Thank you!
