CD Ripper takes several eternities to find metadata (if at all)

[BjTimmermann]

I tried CD Ripper, liked the sound, ignored the meta data search speed - and bought it.
Now I am having problems with exactly that: Meta data search blocks the app and keeps me waiting for minutes, and sometimes finds it, and sometimes it doesn't find anything (with the same cd).
I tried activating and deactivating each combination of providers (OK - not each but some dozens). Nothing helped.
What the hell is going on? Are the services not simple HTTP services, so that security might block it?
My firewall complains about nothing.

I've been doing a of ripping the last few days (about 120 CDs). Yesterday everything was pretty fast. Today I noticed the same as you...very slow to find metadata and sometimes not finding. Disabling discogs seemed to help a bit, but was still sometimes seeing very slow metadata finding....

edit: Seems there was/is a problem on the dbpoweramp side:

It should all be back to normal, even with discogs enabled if not post please.
