Are they thumbnails? If not, perhaps this is configurable... I'll check out my own images folder and see if it's pulling them in, but it definitely shows the remote url for images when I'm viewing them on my instance.
no, a random image I just now check was 3.3mb even. But you're right, the image source does point to the origins server location... Then why are all those images stored on the server ?
Great question! I'm gonna go digging around and see where photos come from. It could be that image federation does happen, but the URL isn't changed in the DB. Thanks for checking on your instance, I'll check mine out too.
OK, I've just realised something new - images pulled from websites as thumbnails are uploaded to the server and appear to be basically full sized, i.e.:

This image is on my server, but it's just pulled from the website as a thumbnail. This doesn't seem to be super consistent in how it's handled - I'm continuing to look at what's causing it and why it doesn't seem to happen all the time.
EDIT: Seems like there's more on there than I expected. Gonna continue digging.
