    That image is 8mb's. For a web image, thats huge. 18x an acceptable size.

    Eh, I see images that size online all the time, and load them anyway despite it taking many many minutes on my 128 kb/s mobile internet. It is a huge problem embedding them in websites, and I absolutely hate waiting minutes just to navigate from the main page to the page I want in many slow websites, but on Reddit and SaidIt it is easy to load and cache images in the background via the RedReader-based apps. If you want to see a really big image, try loading my 212M Belleza project image :P . I actually made a downscaled version at 8.8M, because I was posting it online and 212M was just ridiculous.
