When you usually try to download an image, your browser opens a connection to the server and sends a GET request asking for the image.
I'm not a web designer, but that seems rather ass-backwards. I'm already looking at the image, therefore the image is already residing either in my cache or in my RAM. Why it is downloaded a second time instead of just being copied onto my drive?
