You still have to download it all, though. Right?

  Technically no, but JPEG divides the image into 8x8 segments (does that vary by channel? Can’t remember) so using full resolution images as thumbnails will still suck everyone’s bandwidth like correctly resized .bmp files

  That's the point of progressive rendering, it renders less and less blurry the more the image loads. On slow connections with big images, I've seen the effect in the wild.
