These don't load

[Karl Kuehn]

	Usually this means that the site has a time limit for connections. If  
your network connection is slow enough that it can't grab the whole  
image in the time alloted the web server simply cuts the connection,  
and you get a partial image. Since the JPEG headers contain the image  
dimensions when this happens the rest of the image is filled in with a  
filler color (grey). It would be nice if OmniWeb would remember this  
and support resuming the file transfer (I usually see this on Apache  
installations that have been heavily tweaked... and Apache supports  
http resumes) but I don't see it being a high priority issue.
	When I was on a dial-up connection I just downloaded the images I  
needed to see onto a remote server (curl over ssh into a web directory)  
and then viewed the images from that server. Annoying, but it worked.
