It loaded fine on my PC. Although it took a damn long time. I would upload a small version if needed. let me prepare myself to do it :) — ΛΧΣ21 06:54, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
On the image page, there is a link (in a pink box) to the "large image viewer" that lets you view such big images without downloading the whole thing. Colin°Talk 07:58, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
We would NEVER want to promote a smaller version. HUGE images are better. As pointed out above there's tools to help people view it in a browser, or you can actually save it to your computer and load in Photoshop or similar for inspection, plus there's the links under the image for smaller versions as well. Big is good. Plus "to big" isn't a valid reason to oppose, so I'd recommend retracting the oppose. — raekyt 15:25, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
