[QUOTE="fforde, post: 412607, member: 52082"] Well backdrops and covers are not redownloaded unless you specifically delete your artwork folders. If you are doing a reinstall of everything, then yes things would be redownloaded, but I think this is not an incredibly common occurrence. At least not common enough to worry about the added strain on sites like [url=http://themoviedb.org]themoviedb.org (TMDb) | The open movie database[/url]. You do make an excellent point about usability with backdrops though. It is difficult to skim through your movies and see which still need backdrops, same for covers. And obviously we still have the single backdrop limitation right now. These are all things we plan on fixing, but I suspect they will not be in place until 0.9. We are actually overhauling the guts of our artwork system right now though to pave the way for these enhancements, so rest assured, work is being done on this. [/QUOTE]
