Timed it after adding 3 episodes last night and it took 10min. Oddly it claimed that it downloaded 31 artwork, but no idea how that many could have been effected for only 3 episodes.

Thanks. I'm hoping that I'll have some time to get back to work on this over the weekend. Weather man says rain all day Sat. & Sun. What a shame. Won't be able to mow the grass.

I'm hoping that the art is actually downloading and I just haven't been waiting long enough for the process to complete.

It appears that art work is being downloaded. All the videos that I added to the source on my last library update now have artwork. All the downloading is occurring in the background however. No progress window is being displayed. The download in the background option is disabled, I checked it again to make sure and even shutdown and re-launched xbmc just to be sure that the configuration was set. Since I'm getting my art this isn't really a major concern, but the improper behavior still bothers me.

Edit- after working with this for a bit (twisting knobs and pushing buttons ) I realize that maybe the problem is me. I have been initiating the download with the "Get Artwork" button in the quick nav window. If I actually navigate to the addon and launch it the behavior is just what it should be. Downloading in the fore ground with a progress bar. Perhaps the quick nav button is actually launching a different addon? Looks like everything is working as it should though. Thanks to everyone for your help. Does the downloader get artwork for every movie in my library every time it is launched?
