7MEG?!
how?
edit: sorry, i didn't see the 'animation' bit

if it's 450pixels wide, that'll bump up the filesize straightaway
try making it around half the size, reduce the colours, make it a tiny bit lossy, and then, if you're still desperately big, add black horizontal pixel-high scanlines to every other row

It's not really compressed at all. All the other settings made it look, well, shit to be honest.

I know it's a pain in the arse for dial-up, but I didn't want to post something shite for once :-o

Oh and it's a 450px wide animation with 183 frames!

you could even try happytoasts trick of halving the physical dimenssions
of the file, then blowing it back up with html

ah, yes but
they are linked to the original files on my web-server. No matter how much I reduce the image size and quality, I cannot get it down to 280KB to post up here :-(

Hence the inclusion of a shit picture :-D

hahaha
excellent work
i reckon you could halve the number of frames and make the frame rate a touch slower, make it physically quite a bit smaller, and crop of the letterboxing, up the contrast a little bit and that'd help a bit

but it's fucking funny

I'll give that a go
and thanks :-)

For those of us without download limits
Leave it how it is. But a really uber small version would be nice so people with limits could enjoy.
