Agreed that reduced-size images are desirable. One or more of the mirrors are offering those, Parrhesia for example. We elected to initially offer the full size to not limit what can be offered by others and to feed those with terabyte maws. When image downloads jam shut Cryptome, which seems likely soon, we'll de-PATRIOT the bloat. And if I was *nix-savvy what would I need this suck-palace for. Declan wrote:
Not sure how *nix-savvy you are, John, but you may want to try out "convert." Wrapped in a simple perl or shell script, it'll take care of resizing to some reasonable level. 768x512 is sufficient for most casual viewing purposes, at least until monitor size/quality increases.
