Well I guess I should have been more patient...

It took 2 minutes to time out.  Afterwards it gave me a message about
getting 0 bytes from the nexbase.net poster.  Then it just grabbed a poster
from imdb.

I was concerned only because it was the first time I've had it hang and it
was doing it to about 6 movies that I was trying to grab info for.  Looks
like we're good now.
