if you think about it. having one big file instead of one big, one medium, one small is less server space. yes there is bandwidth to consider but most big files for fast download are not more the 75K, if they are then they are broken up on small files. People who assume that everyone has a high speed internet connection have the wrong assumption and should always design for the slowest connetion.
however to go with your idea then add a size box at each size on the page, I specified, stuff it into context and let the upload module do the resizing.
