Talk:Mapper
From Stars!wiki
The wiki won't let me upload .zip files with 'packs of GIFs'. If that's for security I understand.
I need a way to have download links to the uploaded .GIF files without showing them and wasting bandwidth every time the page is viewed. The uploaded .GIFs go into the Image space (Image:filename.gif) instead of the file space (File:filename.gif). Not sure how to make a link to download an Image.
The way it is now (a dirty wiki hack) each user will have to see the file THEN download it which uses up twice as much bandwidth as necessary. Most of the files are like 10-50 kb, but a very few like PIBACK.GIF, which only people making maps will want to download, are 1.79 Mb.
Any ideas?
