Itunes error (-609) when attempting to download artwork

I'm receiving the following message when attempting to download album artwork:

Artwork for XXXXXX could not be found. An unknown error occurred (-609)

MY first thought was that it was due to the artwork being unavailable, but i deleted the artwork for an album which i had previously downloaded. When i tried to re-download the artword, same problem. I can download track information, though.

This has occurred since updating to itunes 8.0.1.11

using 64 bit Vista. Never had this problem before...

Windows Vista

I installed V8.2.0.23 created a new library. Added one album. Clicked on Get Album Artwork. Got unknown error (-609). Spent hours trauling the web to find a solution. Logging into iTunes store and signing out and restarting iTunes and the PC did NOT fix the problem.

Then I installed V6.2.1.6 only to find I still get the same problem.
Interestingly, if I run the diagnostics from the Help menu it tells me Internet Connection Failed. (which is bollox - because I have been browsing the web for hours to try and find a solution) But I wonder if it is linked.

I can't beleive how naff iTunes is.
Does anyone have a solution that actually works?
