I am relatively new Vortexbox user and have ripped a pile of CDs and DVD's with few issues over the last week.

Today I went to rip a new CD and I now have a message that says "Using your Internet Connection to find Meta Data for your ripped disks". The box doesn't appear to be doing much- its been sat like that for an hour or two now with the occasional winking of the hard drive, and it is not ripping any new disks. I re-booted the box and re-started the ripper but get the same message up on the web browser. Is this normal? I haven't seen this before and would like to carry on ripping the disks.
