Admittedly our broadband here in New Zealand is a bit crap.  But I don't have the patient to wait for minutes while hundreds of jpg's are downloaded from www.water2gas.com ... I'm never going to see these jpg's ... so this site is paying for massive bandwidth that is completely useless to anyone.

Often we can't get into this site - and it's not surprising if this massive bandwidth waste is happening for every user.

Get the Firefox browser and then install couple of extensions such as NoScript, Adblock Plus...you should be able to control what loads, where and when...

@greendoor
another person who doesn't know how to use the site or their own browser...
how tedious  ;)

try right clicking the offending images and choosing "block images from..." or follow amigo's advice
