The thumbs are on your bandwidth, yes. But the galleries are on ours. Most, if not all, of the thumbs are under 5k. The way everything is set up, you can link to as many, or as few of our galleries as you want. It will do up to 192 galleries a day so that if you do want to create a full site out of it, you can. But even just adding 5 or 10 thumbs to the top of your page can help keep it looking fresh without using up much bandwidth at all.
Nothing's gonna be perfect for everyone. If I hosted all the thumbs as well, it would become much more complicated to get links working correctly through traffic scripts and I'd most likely need a server just to take care of all the requests for thumbs every time someone's page is loaded.
This started out as a simple script just to help myself and my partner keep our own sites updated automatically. After we got it working we realized other people might be interested in using it for their sites as well, so we decided to add a bit more functionality to it and open it to the public.
