Obviously Advanced > Use local files should be on. But does that mean:
- Use only local files, don't ever download any new ones; or
- Use local files if present, but download anything that is missing locally
You can't, as things currently stand. The "use local files" toggle is a problem because it means "Use local artwork if files already exist, and create local files when they don't" so when you ONLY want to read local files and not download anything you can't use AD.
Likewise if you don't want to associate your movies with remote artwork - which is what will happen if "Use local files" is left disabled - then again AD is not an option for you.
The only solution I'm aware of is in my sig, use texturecache.py and mklocal.py to associate non-standard local artwork.

It has to be on. What you want can't be achieved with the current version of AD, hopefully future versions will add more flexibility.
