Terry:

Yes that, but it's a bit more. One, not only does the user tie up 
their bandwidth, which sometimes the user blames on the site, but the 
server receives a hit in two ways. One, if has to spend the time and 
memory to receive the large file, and two, it then has a larger file 
to reduce.

If the user would trim their files to begin with, then there wouldn't 
be a problem. However, educating users is another subject.

Cheers,
