I understand that concern, and it's good that you have taken time to point this out to the unknowing.
In my case (and perhaps in many other peoples case) I don't have it setup to run when entering XBMC, plus I'm using local files. AD will only run when I do an update, and I only do updates when I've added to the library, which is when AD is required by design to run anyway. For now it is only downloading disc, logo, clearart and banner. I use Ember to scrape and soon it will do those as well, therefore even less will be downloaded by AD. I'm hoping this will be the perfect balance.
I wonder what percentage of people are not using "use local files", and therefore counting on AD to download everything?
