    Flickr takes too long to load

    So now I use the "block all images from www.flickr.com" option.

    Loads much faster now.

    You may have consumed your entire bandwidth, downloading distros.

    Everything that has a computer in will fail. Everything in your life, from a watch to a car to, you know, a radio, to an iPhone, it will fail if it has a computer in it. They should kill the people who made those things.- 'Woz'

    In europe we don't have bandwith limits
    At least not in the part where I live.
    Delete it. They just clutter threads anyway.

    Some ISPs in the UK do have some caps on bandwidth.

    I'm merely dismayed at you lot not realising that the Flickr's raison d'etre is to disply high-quality images. Turning them off would render the site essentially pointless.

    *facepalm*
    I don't live here any more.

    Well excuse me for not being a MacTard with a million photo albums at the touch of a finger gesture.
