The download feature if selected will start downloading as soon as the movie(s) is selected. It does it in the background, allowing the script to continue playing. If you don't use the slide show at the start, the script doesn't have enough time to download any trailers, so it falls back on to streaming. I think I'm going to change this to fall back and scrape the download folder, similar to how the local folder scraper works. This way it will have the trailers that may have been downloaded but not watched yet.
