Problem:
Image
It takes an average of 6-10 seconds to download EACH image file! Having imported only a small portion of my game library (about 3100 titles for now). That comes out to about 10 hours for JUST the front box cover art if everything took 8 seconds.
Steps to reproduce:
Navigate to tools > Download metadata and media > Next
Leave "Search for game information and media from the Launchbox games database" checked > Next
Only check "Box Front", uncheck "remove roughly matched..." as suggested in other forms
Do not configure EmuMovies
Select "Yes, but do not replace..." > Finish
Software:
OS: Windows 10 PRO clean install fully updated as of yesterday (21H1 Build 19043.1055)

4 hours 26 mins later, I have successfully downloaded JUST the cover art of 3187 games.... holy crap that is slow!!
