I've just clocked a thumbnail on the freestuff gallery at 800x600 and 330Kb, though obviously it only displayed at 200x200.
For those of us on dialup, that's quite a bandwidth hog. Thumbs that are genuinely 200x200 make a lot of difference; they load almost instantaneously even at 56k.
Could thumbs stay as small as possible?

I wish people would learn how to save images. I've been seeing jpgs everywhere, even in the marketplace with artifacts so bad you can't see what the image is. Doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the item, free or not.

Same here. I've seen some that look like someone took a 800x400 or some similar size image and just shrunk it to 200x200 so it looks like it's squashed. Yikes! It's a minor thing if the quality of the item is good, but like Kendra says above, it doesn't exactly inspire confidence..

A lot of people don't know. I just figured out how to "Save for the web" in Photo Shop to bring down the .kb of an image. Maybe some one will write a tutorial.
