Slow metadata download speeds

Problem:

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)
  • LaunchBox: Installed 11.12 yesterday with paid Lifetime subscription

Hardware:

  • CPU: Intel i3 8350K w/ onboard Intel UHD Graphics 630 
  • HDD: Samsung M.2 SSD using the PCIe 16x bus
  • RAM: 16GB DDR4 2400MHz
  • ISP: Xfinity 150Mbps
    • fast.com speeds: 120Mbps
    • speedtest.net speeds: 124Mbps
  • Internal network: 1Gbps from this windows endpoint to the gateway device  

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