Bulk Download Fails

johnelle · 08-09-2024, 04:50 AM

I use the bulk download metadata ("Both") function 4-5 times a week for many many years (i.e. 1000s of times). In the last week I have and 2 runs where Calibre reports success but when I start reviewing, none of the books have new metadata. I have to do a reject all and rerun. I used the default plus Goodreads and Barnes & Noble plug-ins. I always update within a day of release so I run the latest version. Connected with a VPN.

Just wondering if some configuration was changed or some new netbot interference?

The B&N plugin in particular has had ongoing issues with metadata downloads timing out, though there was a recent update for it that should've helped.
