XBMC + TMDB + TVDB = waste of bandwidth?

Hey, guys. I'm not trying to say bad things about XBMC but I've been thinking that TMDB and TVDB are having a hard time paying for bandwidth and I see that everytime I try to view images like actor images, it actually downloads data again from those providers. Isn't that a waste of bandwidth for those services?
If we could choose to store those actor thumbnails somewhere, we wouldn't have to download them again and the servers wouldn't be slow.

If someone really knows how to store those thumbnails, teach me because I don't know.


Thank you. Smile I love XBMC. Smile

XBMC caches the images on the hard drive. It should not be redownloading the images every time you look at them.
