My guess is that you can't be sure, which images the user wants to download. I might have turned images off and just download those whose descriptions interest me. It would be impractical to force me to download all images at once. Also, some images might be shared across pages, while others are not. At best, you'd probably end up with a bunch of image sets (or "arrays") again. HTTP Pipelining might be the answer to your question. See for example <http://www.w3.org/Protocols/HTTP/Performance/Pipeline.html>. Ben
