[sldev] WTF happened to my texture?

[SL - Farallon Greyskin]

Except that that would be MUCH larger a file with much more info to DL than 
even the 4 LODs since that file probably gets a good 10:1 compression. It 
would take at least 5x as long to DL the uncompressed image vs even the 4 
LOD compressed versions. Uploading large uncompressed textures to SL is not 
a good idea... almost (if not completely) ever.
