No because they shouldn't of been downloaded originally that's why you got the 404 error. Also you can scan for media without re-importing and there is a option to only download missing artwork.

You can keep them zipped and launchbox will extract them when you launch a game, there is a tick box somewhere during the import process, I'm not sure where though as I have never used it. Personally I would unzip them all, your not saving a whole load of space by keeping them zipped anyway.

You can check the box when you edit an emulator to un-archive them, but I personally suggest to leave nothing in archives ever. That's just personal preference though. For Disc games you could save some decent space by leaving them zipped, but it's much much more of a headache. For certain systems, like PS1, PS2, PSP, GameCube, Wii, I have every compressed in non-archived compression, and it saves space without having to deal with it. For Saturn, there isn't another method, but I still would say to unarchive them.
