It's also entirely possible that the image hosting server adds more delay by serving the images slowly if it notices you hitting it a lot. Or is just slow in general.
When you say "downloading the fic via html" do you mean the "Download > HTML" site button, or using FFF's html mode?
FFF doesn't know the image size until after it's been downloaded. In theory, FFF could make an HTTP HEAD request, but not all sites implement it. I'm not much interested in trying.

Ah, ok ok. I had to download i via download>html from the site itself and download the metadata using fanficfare and calibre editor to download the images manually.
Considering the extra work needed I will continue to use the above method for any image heavy fics. Thanks.
