Taking too long to download info and poster

You probably have the old version of the plugin. Update the plugin, select all the movies and run imdb import again. If you have the right imdb URL for the records PVD will automatically get information for all movies selected without asking you anything. Pay attention that you can configure the plugin to get posters from IMDB as well. Another thing to take in account is: all plugins fill only empty fields by default, so if you want to update existing information you need to go to Tools -> Prefrences -> Plugins, select the imdb plugin and make all the fields in the list on the bottom you want to update  checked (not ticked).

That would be weird as I have just download PVD less than 6 days ago... It's getting so frustrating, I just added about 300 movie, and it download poster and info on 2 different process with me required to select each one from a list and then it analyzed the media information and codec info and it just display the file info now and no movie descriptions at all! So I just wasted 2 day of clicking. I got to say I was excited to switch to a free software but it's either buggy or me not knowing enough.

Nothing you've said suggests you've encountered a bug. There's been lot's of challenges lately due to IMDb changing their website design—whenever they change something, the plugin has to be updated. But if you're checking for and installing program updates, that shouldn't be an issue either. If you run plugins in "Silent Mode," you'll not be presented with any prompts. If a plugin is not getting the information you think it should, it's probably because you haven't configured it properly. Sorry, without a better description of exactly what you're doing and what's happening, I can't be any more precise than that.
