Please provide more information so people can diagnose what the problem is. What version of calibre are you using, on what operating system? What sources do you have checked in Preferences for Metadata Download? For the books where Metadata Download fails, do you have clean title and author in Title and Author fields? How many books are you trying to download metadata for all at once?

Folks with the problems you describe usually find that they do not have a problem with calibre's update. What they find is that their security software started blocking calibre after the update. Check to verify that your firewall and antivirus to see if calibre is allowed.
