This vBulletin 4 product imports external images in your posts from external servers or paths into a specific path, normally your forum's image folder.
Differently than the previous product Image Cache for vBulletin 3.x., it parses the posts at regular intervals for new images and replaces the external references in the background. Also, instead of using only a single folder, it creates folders for years and months, making it much easier to handle large quantities of images. The source and destination image URL's are stored into database, too, avoiding unnecessary duplicates.
It moves and optionally converts images from one place to another. It is a handy tool in order to keep your images local to your forums.
Version 1.0.4 is temporarily in BETA stage until the users have confirmed the newly requested features.
Version 1.0.5 is still in BETA stage. It adds a new bunch of additional features, one of which allows you to test your mathematical understanding ... and a few other to fine-tune CURL and socket timeouts, and resizing on the fly of too large images. If you don't know what these options do, please leave them at their default values.
I am against watermarking images coming from other sites and thus will not implement this feature.
If you want to watermark the files, you may use quite easily a self-tailored script from SSH, or via cronjob and PHP, operating directly on the imported files.

Well it's more that people use you as a host and steal your bandwith so you should get credit for you bandwith/server use.
I honestly don't know how to do what you mentioned but would love to learn and implement it...
This mod works almost perfectly except when a image is something like IMG_1123-1.jpg?t=1349992120 .
If there is anything after the .jpg it rarely imports correctly.
You may convert images to jpg and then all images will not carry the original filename and/or extension.
However, if an image is dynamically linked, visibility may depend on your logged in state (or the state the "pasting" user is in) and thus may not work in any case. The server script is not logged into the remote media server (is a guest) and thus may not see anything.
