Hi all,

I don't know if this is where this general question belongs or not, but here it is.

I was visiting the site today from a friends home. The computer connected with a dial up modem :-( At any rate, the images all seemed to have much more jpg compression than I have ever seen before. Does DPC consider the connection rate and use it to add compression to make downloads quicker?

Just curious.

Thanks.

Could he have been using one of the "speed up" routines- most automatically compress images to save loading time.

It's his Internet provider. Typically, providers still offering dialup compress image files to save bandwidth, thus making his connection somewhat faster.

Thanks for the insight. I think you are right. There was some mention of speedup software.

Let me tell you... it sure messes up a image!
