      -RPi4
      -RetroPie 4.8.5 (Buster) installed from Pi imager + latest updates
      -Roms from usb stick
      -Package: Skyscraper with enable "missing only flag"

      My sd-card die recently. i transfered my metadata, download_media and gamelists folders, to a new setup and everything looks fine except that, if i run again skyscraper, it starts to download the pics that i have already download. My question: Is this a normal behavior or i missing something? Thanks!

      My English isn't at a good level.

        Yes, it's normal - Skyscraper downloads files into it's cache first, then it copies them to the final location. If you haven't transferred your cache (from $HOME/.skyscraper/cache), then it's normal that the artwork/videos are re-downloaded.
