While thinking about the limitations of our asymetric broadband access (less upload than download), I thought of a hack that could speed up things while browsing an HTML generated photo gallery. The idea would be to host the same album on N servers and when you generate the "thumbnails" page you cycle through the N servers for the <img src=> tag.

In the first place, you could reference identical albums on other servers manually, but then another feature would be to "copy" the album to your gallery and it would automatically reference the other one (and vice versa).

I know this is a complicated feature, but I think it's writing down, and maybe it will inspire someone.

One of the uses would be for a decentralised hosting of personal photos on small footprint devices (see FreedomBox : http://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox)

This request is over complicated, doesn't really bring additional values to "many" users and I don't think it will be implemented. I prefer to close it for now.
