Although it wasn't evident that's what made the difference, I restarted the program last time too. So now I wonder...if it is an intermittent IMDb site or Internet problem, it's hard to imagine why restarting the program should make any difference. :-\

Because the restart takes 5 minutes and the site / internet problem cleared in that time?

I don't think so. A restart takes closer to 5 seconds. I thought that was the case the first time, because it was more like 5 minutes before I got around to restarting. The reason for that was I happened to be running two instances at the time. So the first thing I did was try the other instance—and it worked. This caused me to think it must have something to do with the configuration file, so I deleted that and restarted the instance that didn't work—and it worked. But then I got suspicious and tried it again with the old configuration file—and it worked. So I concluded it must be an intermittent thing, and I just happened to test it as it fixed itself. But two such coincidences in a 15 hour period doesn't seem likely. :-\
And BTW, it works now.

Hello,
I've just started using PVD from yesterday, and "out of the box" I am experiencing the same problems - nothing but the URL from IMDB being imported. Same MO as previous posters (after using debug mode), log shows the first GET then nothing, though there is download activity (about 100K) that goes on in the status.
Using the debug option helps somewhat but still fails on the IMDB import within 1-3 imports (4 was my maximum). A restart of PVD (debug mode) *always* successfully imports a manual request of IMDB import (non "New Movie Master") on first try, but then again 1-3 tries later it fails (manual or master import) - just the URL and another restart is required to continue.

Are logging into IMDB as a registered user?
Its a bit hardcore, you could try installing wireshark and see what's happening at TCP layer
