Metadata download doesn't always work

Hey guys,

I have a little problem with downloading metadata: When I choose a couple of books from the library and then tell Calibre to download metadata and covers, for some books it only retrieves the cover and the info/comment texts but not the metadata tags. In this case I have to open the "edit metadata" window for each of the respective books and manually download the metadata from there - then it works fine. Unfortunately, this is pretty annoying when you have to do it for a considerable number of books. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you,
domee

Often you have to download the metadata twice.
Post ny Kiwidude in this thread explains it a bit.
