I'm suggesting this because I just tried to download a scan, but I temporarily lost internet connectivity, but when I went to refresh the page it said that I didn't have enough papers to download it, in other words, I didn't get the scan I tried to download, but I did lose the papers (something like this may not annoy everybody, but I don't have a lot of time to come to this site, so it's a pretty big annoyance to me). So what I propose is that when someone downloads a scan they be given a period of time (maybe 24 hours or so) where they can download that particular scan again for free (without losing additional papers). I really don't see a feature like this being something that would be detrimental to bandwidth, for one, no one would really have any reason to download something an insane number of time where it would become a bandwidth problem, even if they did I believe most browsers would keep the image in cache memory so it wouldn't actually be re-downloaded from the sites server. Just a suggestion, hope it wasn't too idiotic or that it was suggested before.

A WALLPAPER/SCAN TIMED OUT WHILE LOADING. WHAT SHOULD I DO TO GET THE IMAGE WITHOUT LOSING ANY MORE PAPERS?

If you are on Firefox browser, right click the image and select VIEW IMAGE. Papers are deducted when you load the container page that holds the scan. If you simply refresh, you are going to reload the container page and the system will be instructed to deduct more papers. The VIEW IMAGE feature enables you to load only the image and not the container page.

They said their internet died, not that their browser died while loading the page >.> There is a difference. The image was loading then the internet died and it stopped, then they couldnt go back and download it, it wasnt about the image timing out, it was the internet just crashing all together.

There is no difference. A loss of connection also leads to a timeout. As long as the browser window is still on the download page, use right click > view image instead of refreshing the whole page will resolve the issue.

The page was mostly blank, I couldn't use right-click > view image, and I tried. There was simply nothing to right-click on except one of those blasted google ads.

If the browser CRASH (using IE? >.>) then there is also nothing to click at, and there is a chance it won't get on thehistory.

But hey CarboCookie, the google add I think comes after the scan, so the scan was there only not loaded, might have been a good idea to check the page source to see the link perhaps?

This isn't a practical suggestion. The effort required to impliment such a feature would be rather wasted as the people who would benefit are a small minority .What is more practical is that you maintain your own system effectively to prevent the crashes you're worried about so that the issue no longer exists.

No, no, no, no, no. Stop wasting my time with these obscure requests.
