I am on the latest version (v3.29) but none of the Tag Sources options are working.

MusicBrainz gives the error:  
Error connecting to server: [musicbrainz.org](http://musicbrainz.org)

> 12002: 12002: The operation timed out

Discogs Artist + Album gives the error:  
Failed to authenticate using OAuth (1).

> 12002: 12002: The operation timed out

The program has internet access, because "Help\>Check for new version" works.

I increased the Timeout, and it's now working again. It must be going slow today 🙂
