TheTVDB needs mirrors, really. At least a couple of times a year it goes down for a while or gets overloaded. I appreciate the fact it is free, but yeah, mirrors would help a lot. Then XBMC could look down the mirrors list before giving the fail message. Even if brand new episodes wouldn't scrape, at least 95% of everything else would, which is a fair solution.
it does have mirrors, they are automatic
