Image Compression for Data Transfer

[the182guy]

I dont understand why you dont just send the raw jpeg data by the time its endoded the entire file in a compression system, then decoded at the other end, it will of defeated the purpose of using compression since the file probably could of been sent without compression quicker than with it

You're probably right, although I think i'm going to give the dial-up clients the ability to buffer their images a few seconds with higher res images, or if not use lower res with no buffering. Dunno, that's why I posted the question here. Looking for the best method to accomplish this task, since it's my first attempt at streaming images between clients.
