Need help with GIF's hosted at zimg.se

**highwayman274** · January 27th, 2019, 04:12 PM

Can anyone tell me how to view this member's gif posts (hosted at zimg.se) without having to download them to my hard drive?

When I click on the thumbnail, I get nothing but an endless "loading" process.
Physically downloading them takes a couple of minutes, but then I have to view them using my media player.

Maybe you just need to be more patient. I just viewed the image with Firefox and Chromium. It took 42 seconds to load the image.

I tried it and clicked on the play gif button and it started in 3 seconds.
If your using a proxy or vpn that may block or slow things down.

It's a big file (10.5 Mb) so it will take time to load. I guess you're on a pretty slow connection or your bandwidth is very limited.

If you do a right mouse click and go to information about this page and go media you'll probably get this

I've re-uploaded the gif with ImgBB in case you haven't be able to see it

Thanks, everyone!

I will try to be more patient with these larger GIF files.

Viewing GIF's hosted at ImgBB has always worked well for me, and I could not understand why zimg.se performed so poorly, by comparison.

Realize that if you are viewing it, you have already downloaded it. Sometimes it takes a while.
