So I went back into the settings and set the cache limit to 128...
and it still downloaded over 35 megs for that one artist...
Is that normal?... Is that setting per artist or for all artists?... Is there a way to limit the number of images for each artist to say 4 images? Also there are only about 3 or 4 images that are even of that artist. Most of them are not even related to that artist, I'm thinking maybe it does that because of the generality of the name... "The Band"
The setting is for all artists. And since the 35mb of images being downloaded is less than the maximum cache size you set of 128mb, AS will always download those images.
If you are using htbackdrops as an image source, you are probably going to get a load of images that aren't the right artist. I think AS will be able to find the MusicBrainz ID for the group, but if you look in the Artist Information folder for that artist and the musicbrainz.nfo file is empty, stick 8c90ad8c-9150-4c51-a1eb-342232e99d06 in (that's the ID for The Band). Then you'll images from TheAudioDB and Fanart.TV. There isn't any way to tell AS to just download x number of images, but check the wiki page (link in my sig) on how you can exclude files from showing (or being redownloaded). If you want to keep using htbackdrops as a source, that's probably your best bet.
