Don't you think 6.2 megs is a little bit excessive for a bloody banner? Even if people have broadband, that still will take a few seconds, and if your site ever gets busy, it'll get even slower. Not to mention, every time someone clicks 'refresh', it'll re-download the bloody thing, and you might run into bandwidth limits (not sure if those free ones have such limits, but I imagine so).
Exactly.

Putting such large animations (6.2MB) :eek: Makes the website slower and it is against good website designing rules. It is possible but it will take a lot of bandwidth and most of the users will just close since the page will take a lot of time to load and those who visited will never visit again. This fails the main objective of a good website. If it is so necessary to show it to the user then provide a link on the main page. Those who are interested will watch others won't. Problem solved.
