as you can see it still downloaded over 35 megs worth of images for that one artist.
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.

Oh I see...I kinda get how it works now... Let me ask one more thing please, if it downloads 35 megs for one artist and other artists are added to the point of the cache limit and then more are added will it stop other artists from downloading images if the cache limit has been reached because one artist might have 35 megs of images? Hope I asked that right. If more artist are added will it delete some images automatically from the artist with 35 megs in order to have space for new artist? also all of the musicbrainz.nfo files are empty is that normal if most of my artist have MBID's?
