Thank you for your answer.
Even if the images were hosted on Rendo's fast servers, ten images at 500kB each would still take 40 seconds to download on my 2Mb/s broadband connection (it's the fastest we can get out here in the UK countryside). There really is no need for them to be that size.

However, I'll assume your answer contains an implied "no", and just put up with it.
