Error message from Blender console:

OS: Linux Mint Ursula
Blender version: 2.93.6
LuxCore version: 2.6

Every time I load blender and activate viewing the library models, it starts to download again the same image files of the models (1050 preview and 1050 full = 2100 downloads), and of the materials (416 preview and 416 full = 832 downloads) ), from the library. This is exhausting, I have chosen not to open the library so as not to waste time and money on internet consumption.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in Blender 2.93.6 with LuxCore 2.6 on Linux Mint Ursula, then inspect the library-loading path responsible for model and material downloads. Done means reopening the library no longer downloads the same preview and full image files repeatedly.
