It doesn't, but a new layer can cause new data to be hidden beneath 
previous data and thus not show up in josm. Sometimes new data is not 
presented in the josm GUI before I activate the particular layer in the 
Layer box. That box it at the top right of the josm GUI. You could see 
if reordering the layers could solve the problem.

Also from what I have experience by using the Landsat WMS plugin, 
previous downloaded data could be hidden beneath before you activate the 
data again after a Landsat download.

... sometimes it just takes a certain amount of time to download data 
from a particular area. And from what I have experienced today, data 
over Korea, both north and south, just takes more time than what I would 
expect to be normal.
