Hi Lode :-)
A few exceptions here with your post.....first, you don't give us the version of Windows or IE you are using, nor do you tell is what your idea of 'suboptimal quality' is. Do you mean blurred, distorted, fuzzy, etc.
In view of the above, I can only start with a general reply in an effort to assist:
Try clearing the IE cache. I.E./Tools/Options/General/Delete files (and delete offline content.)
And.....
If you have an accelerator supplied by your ISP try turning it off. It works by reducing image size (and therefor quality) for downloads.

Zone Alarm Pro can block Images in IE
1. Go into IE>Tools>Internet Options>Security>Custom level>reset custom level to Medium or Low
2. Go into IE>Tools>Internet Options>Privacy>set the slider to Medium or Low
3. Go to this site and read on adjusting the Privacy settings in ZA. It will explain how to customize on a per site basis.

Kerio Personal Firewall and any other anti-advertisement software you have on your system will also do this.

Fuzzy images in IE SP1 - go to the following registry key:
Windows XP does not natively support High-DPI screens http://support.microsoft.com?scid=kb;EN-US;Q820286
Distorted images
There is a known problem with MS Patch 03-015 on some machines running IE6 SP1 - a fix is available and described here: http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;EN-US;q828682
Turn off your ISP's Dialup accelerator, if you have one. It works by reducing image size
(and therefor quality) for downloads.

Images in Explorer (6.0) initially appear with suboptimal quality. If I
right-click the image I can select an option to display with full quality.
Any thoughts on how the images could be displayed with full quality
automatically? Thanks.
