Strange Download Metadata Behavior
Just since the last two updates, my fetch metadata has gone crazy.

I have it set to download from Google, Amazon.com, Edelweiss and Overdrive. I do a bulk download, Metadata only, and then go in and individually clean up the metadata.

Since update 1.20, I am getting crazy results. For example, I downloaded a free book from Amazon, Lady Fortescue Steps Out by M.C. Beaton. When I ran the bulk metadata download, it downloaded metadata from Snowpiercer Vol.: The Escape by Jacques Lob and Jean Marc Rochette.

An epub, The Pursuit of Mary Bennet by Pamela Mingle downloaded as The Secret Diary of Lizzie Bennet: A Novel by Bernie Su and Kate Rorick.

I retype the title and author and erase the Ids, and run download metadata individually, and I get the correct result.

Any assistance would be very much appreciated.

I believe Edelweiss is somewhat broken, and a fix will be in the next release for author searching improperly.

(OverDrive (from what I've heard) doesn't even work anymore, as it was never updated for the new website.)
