In my experience, you have to wait until the next day to do the next
batch.  You may also be able to configure CDJ to use your ISP's proxy
server (if such is available) which in my experience will give you
another 200.

I'm having a related problem with CDDB lookups.  I'm getting the "CDDB
error.  Try a different server. (Could be a problem with your Internet
connection)" message, but from all indications the machine's got good
connectivity.  I can do the "get server list" thing successfully as
well as browse the web & such.  This has been going on for a week or
so, but a couple CDs have been successfully looked up since the
problem started.  Even if I try to look those up again I get the same
error.  I'm stumped.  Any ideas?
