And the first set of fixes for 0.27 was just installed.  When
mythbackend was restarted, it seems to have immediately started
mythmetadatalookup, which of course had been updated and the updated
version had overwritten my script, so it started downloading again.
Fortunately, I killed it before it filled up my system partition
again, and I have restored my script in place of mythmetadatalookup.

And while it does not matter to me (I have a 550 Gbyte cap on my
monthly Internet), downloading of a heap of artwork does matter for
those in New Zealand on the rather more usual tiny caps.  I think my
brother still has a 20 Gbyte cap, for example.  The sudden use of 1
Gbyte or more unexpectedly would not be welcome for those people.
