Looks like my feelings is right, that dial-up warnings is probably unnecessary nowadays.

It should just be changed to [large image(s)] warning or something, like that "moe imagery 2" thread (it's at least 17mb of images...)

Would be funny to make something that automatically tags threads if they're going over... let say 1 megabyte in total.

Possible to do, but I dunno if it's worth it.

Wouldn't that be pretty easy to do? Just find the filesize of each image. Even if there is no filesize() function for remote images, you could just say something like:

$total = 0;
foreach ($imgs as $imgurl)
{
  $contents = file($imgurl);
  $contents = implode($contents, "\n");
  $total += strlen($contents);
}

if ($total > 1024*1024) // add tag here

I haven't worked very much with byte operations in PHP, only Java, but that's what would come naturally to me.

That would require you to detect all images on the page first. That in turn would require you to buffer the page markup or something, and then there's CSS images too.

Of all the suggestions piled up for implementation, this one has to be the least likely to ever be done.

And yet it's still among the least likely to be done, no matter how much you pre-chew it.

True. It doesn't have much practical use, because most of the time when that many images are rendering, you'll have time to look at each before the next one loads. Unless it's a huge, 10000px by 10000px image. Which would just be stupid.

I'm rated at 7 Mbps (Standard Roadrunner) which is what i was getting constantly when downloading from binary newsgroups (about 800-1000 kilobytes/sec.) Some times I get more than that, up to around 1.5 MB/s maybe, which is really great, I downloaded a 25GB bluray iso in only 8 hours! lol

Have you ever seen that 25600x16000 screenshot of Crysis?

Is there a reason you bumped this old thread? I don't see one.
