Further more I cannot see a way to adjust the bandwidth to lower it to a more reasonable upload size.
Could this be sorted in the next release please?

I'm sorry about the problems

Putting a per image size limit wouldn't really work. PHP is server side and it would need to upload the file to check the size, which would use the bandwidth regardless.
The only thing I can think of doing is adding a per usergroup bandwidth limit per day/week. Once they hit the limit they wouldn't get the option to upload anymore. I'll see what I can do about getting that in the next version.
