Downloading box art taking extremely long. Going on 4 plus hours now for 1 system.

I do not ever recall it being so slow. I'm going on 4 hours now for the SNES set , box cover only ( front ) gameplay screenshot, start screen.

Is this normal? It was never an issue before.

If you did not uncheck the option for "rough matching", depending on how many games you are importing, this would cause an increase in download times. That feature compares each downloaded image to other images to reduce downloading duplicated images.

I've ran it both enabled and disabled. While slightly quicker with it disabled , it is still extremely slow. Roughly 4 hours for 700 snes backups.

I'm seeing the same behavior @Commo_64K . What's worse is that I've had multiple times now where 1000 roms in a single folder has taken more than 6 hours, so I've gone to bed and let it run overnight. Then I wake up and it's stuck on a single file at the end. Launchbox basically locks up, and I can only close it and restart the whole process over again. This has happened to me twice now. But in general, importing takes a ridiculous amount of time.
