I agree about image quality. If it's a background it doesn't need to be high quality. It's a background with presumably more important content on top of it, most likely covering most of the image. That said I stand by my previous comment.
For content images I'll say again that you should provide a sample thumbnail with well labeled links to larger versions. Let the user choose to download a large version.
