The problem with leaving connections open is that there's a limit on how many you can have on the server... I think the author has committed self-DoS :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slowloris_(computer_security)
The website is down now lol

#32It downloaded on Safari on iOS. Long press on the image and tap Add to photos.
Same for me, but the webpage gave the impression that it was still downloading, because after it download completely, at least in firefox on iPhone, it’s still showing that it was downloading.
Re: You can't download this image
#33When you usually try to download an image, your browser opens a connection to the server and sends a GET request asking for the image. I'm not a web designer, but that seems rather ass-backwards. I'm already looking at the image, therefore the image is already residing either in my cache or in my RAM. Why it is downloaded a second time instead of just being copied onto my drive?
Oh no, it's still downloading the one it's displaying on screen. You can even see a spinny thing as the icon of the tab on Chrome.
The format allows for showing images when they are partially downloaded, and also allows pushing data that doesn't actually change the image.

#34Drag and drop to Desktop on macOS works too.

#35Firefox mobile did hang when trying to download, but after pressing cancel the image was downloaded and viewable in my gallery app.
Same here

I don't know about browser internals, but I would guess that the browser decodes the image once into a format that can be shown on the page (so from PNG/JPG/WEBP into a RGBA buffer) and then discards the original file. This saves a bit of memory in 99.99% of cases when the image is not immediately saved afterwards.

#37On Google Pixel there is a new feature where I can go to the recent app screen and it defects images to click on them to do Google lense or save images or share image. I was able to save the image of size 506kb with 841x1252 1.1MP pic.
