Because those files aren't being downloaded to your local machine when you
view them on the web. Moreover, both Yahoo! and Microsoft (who runs
Hotmail) use systems far more powerful that what you have on your desktop
and most likely have bandwidth to their systems that far surpasses what you
have to your desktop. Just as you can push a lot more water through a
six-foot-diameter culvert than you can through a quarter-inch straw, so can
Hotmail and Yahoo! handle more data faster.
