Comment (by jvdillon@…):

 I also have this problem and let me tell you its WICKED annoying.

 I actually see two problems which I'm fairly certain are related.

 The first problem is essentially as op describes. Suppose I search for an
 icon that returns many results, say "MTV".  The first few icons download
 and the remainder will not.  Then suppose you search for "VH1".  None of
 these logos will download--and indeed the log indicates MTV logos are
 still downloading.

 I think the problem is that the current implementation wget's the files on
 every repaint and lyngsat.com treats these repeated/numerous requests as
 hammering.  This brings me to problem #2 which I think is the culprit.

 It looks to me that at one point Qt (or whatever windowing libs are used)
 did not trigger a full repaint on every window redraw (ie selecting a
 different logo).  At some point this behavior changed, meaning that every
 reselection triggers another wget of every relevant image.  Obviously this
 is bad.

 This bug essentially makes the manual icon selection impossible.  I've
 resorted to manual dowload and editing mythconverg myself.
