Now, error '36' as I understand it is when the request is still in progress but it returns an error because it took too long. It seems to die if the response is any more than about 5 seconds.
Running this:
$ time curl http://www.thetvdb.com/api/1D62F2F90030C...all/en.zip

Shows me that thetvdb.com is taking 20 seconds to hand back that request, so it could be some network congestion on their part. A way to fix it, at least temporarily, might be to increase the timeout for accessing the scrapers. I have no idea where that might be though...
You are correct, the problem is TheTVdb and not XBMC. Using XBMC Media Companion to scrape my TV Show I get the following error:
