Bug Description

Can't use CDDB function due to application inability of:
- fetching data - it displays a few hundred bits (480B) to be downloaded. It hangs in an "not respoding" loop
- synchronizing the tracks versus fetched data - could not select and set tags to all the tracks, although they are all found and there (i.e. 20 tracks vs 20 info sets) - could not make beet more than 2 tracks out of 20. These tracks are wrong, i.e. the first track in the list gets the info of another track, randomly and the second track gets some other info set.

I have figured out when it happens for sure: when not all the files are previously selected. If all are selected, it worked, but it could not modify for the second time each 10th track (i.e. file) of the 5 discs I've tried.

Using version 2.4.3 in Xubuntu 19.04.
Got some success by clearing most of the fields in the CDDB preferences, just leaving the "Automatic Search Servers" to only 1 server:

Host: au.freedb.org (mirror in my country)
Port: 80
CGI Path:/~cddb/cddb.cgi

Cleared everything else, inc the manual search server.. Haven't experimented further to see what variations work and don't work.
