If the "Use poster.jpg" option is used in skin settings, the corresponding setting for each individual item (Get Thumb) is removed, and it will use the poster.jpg file in the movie's folder.
If therefore, using Artwork Downloader to get your covers / etc you may want to specify English as your preferred language. If you turn off the "Use Poster.jpg" setting, you can still use poster.jpgs from the movie folder by selecting the "Local Thumb" when accessing the "Get Thumb" option from the movie's info screen, it just means you'll have to do it manually for each film.
If you have scraped your library already, but have undesirable posters (say from IMDB / etc.) You can set the option in Artwork Downloader to "Overwrite All Fanart". I think this option will only work for a bulk update, and is a one-time deal. What I mean by that is, Artwork downloader will replace ALL downloaded art for all items in the library, and then automatically turn this setting off upon completion.

I think if the Nfo is present XBMC won't scrape unless you force it to do it by saying ignore local data when you hit Reload.
