Maybe you have the room... But the image hosters like Fanart.tv and TMDB are already struggling with traffic that been created by "normal" use. If now all users always download useless images, then the servers are often overloaded.

Yeah, but in all fairness they shouldn't provide more than X amount then. They have them accessible, people are gonna access them. I donate every few months to fanart and even if I didn't, I wouldn't presume that I shouldn't download something due to THEIR bandwidth. Most of the movies don't even have 25 images(fanart that is), so even having something like 99 literally won't cause problems.

Yeah, that's true.
Nevertheless, one should proceed reasonably at the download. It's the same as the file names: many users simply activate all, so they do not have to worry about what they need. As I said before: why should I download more than 4 extrathumbs, although in Kodi no more than 4 are displayed? I am not doing either to myself or to the image providers a favor. It should not end with the API has to be limited. See Trakt.tv: they have removed all the images from the API, because 90% of the traffic (if I remember correctly) originated only through image downloads. Now all Trakt.tv users loads the pictures of Fanart.tv and the servers are now regularly overloaded.
