    Doesn't mind, just choose the location nearest to you. They're all the same and they'll all work.

    I don't think Remy's able to do anything... I think it's a restriction of the web itself.

    Anyway, if it's a still image (probably a JPG or BMP) you can eit it with any software (the Windows' Paint, eg)and make it smaller.
    If it's a movement-picture, you can edit it with Easy Gif Animator.

    i hope I'm helpful!
