Could someone explain this behavior to me:
After adding scraped movies to my collection (often one or two at a time), I run the artwork downloader. Often it takes several minutes (sometimes more than five) to complete script and report back the results. Typically only two to five items are downloaded at time.
Repeating the same process by choosing an individual movie and selecting "automatic download" the script does its thing and reports back in under thirty seconds.
Why is there such a disparity in the time it takes to download artwork? The process is so slow that I have given up on running the script as a program and have taken to dealing with titles on a case-by-case basis. Shouldn't the opposite be true?
I am using Aeon Nox version 4.1.9 and 5 as my preferred skins and run the artwork downloader in background mode. All settings are left at default, save the option to download disc art.
