Hello, since yesterday, I get this message when trying to download covers:

calibre, version 0.8.46
ERROR: Download failed: Failed to download any covers, click "Show details" for details.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\metadata\single_download.py" , line 559, in run
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\metadata\single_download.py" , line 577, in run_fork

File "subprocess.py", line 672, in __init__
File "subprocess.py", line 882, in _execute_child
WindowsError: [Error 267] The directory name is invalid

Strange thing, the day before yesterday there were no problems at all!

restart calibre and/or reboot your computer, and if you have some tempfile cleaning program, disable it.

It works again!
Although I'm not really sure whether this comes from the update to the new version or from your advice!
Nevertheless, thank you for your help!
