Using the title you wrote I can't get it not to find the metadata, but if I write Archangels Consort by Nalini Singh it doesn't find the metadata. Spelling counts as well as apostrophes.

Sorry I can't help more then to say it works for me.

Windows XP, calibre 0.7.44(try2.msi)

I appreciate the quick response.

Yes, I realize spelling counts and "Archangel's Consort" does have an apostrophe in the title. That's how I searched for it on the ISBNDB.com website and the info came up on the first search.

But I also am unable to retrieve data for ANY book, regardless of spelling, using both author & title, title only or the ISBN only.

I'm running Windows 7 not XP but am unsure of what try2.msi is??

Thanks for your input.

You have some sort of connection issue, most likely stale proxy settings in internet explorer.

OMG! That was it. I don't use IE so didn't think to check those settings, but I did check Firefox and those were fine. Thanks so much! Calibre is working great now.
