I cannot believe that this argument is still being put forth.
It may have been appropriate twenty years ago but it should
be completely defunct today.
One thousand images at 2.5 megabytes per image works out to
only 2.5 gigabytes. In the USA even the cheapest broadband
has monthly download caps of 250 gigabytes. Furthermore, as
improved technology is disseminated even these limits will
be vastly improved.
Anyway, for sluggish connections there are always torrents and lower-res
image sizes can easily be created from high-res originals to accommodate
the dwindling few that will demand them.
