Option [Don't download avatars more than 20MB]

Adding an option in settings to limit downloading for a specific size like 50MB or 20MB will help players with limited or slow internet and will help to lower the high traffic on the servers

I would actualy consider hard-capping the upload limit to around 100-200 MB. The new update is going to bump up the file size quite a bit. A 20 MB upload limit seems extreme, since Oculus Quest is already 40 MB and not many avatars are Quest compatible, due to just that alone.

this will help vrc become faster as it lowers client requests

Some models are 50mb what!

SAADHERO: some are over 100mb. You could theoretically upload a 1gb avatar.
SAADHERO
xxx_red_xxx: That should not be allowed there should be a hard limit.
xxx_red_xxx
SAADHERO: agreed on that but I think it should be like 100mb. Some of us have decent internet and some of the large avatars have really cool features.
SAADHERO
xxx_red_xxx: I agree but i suppose the Size should be accounted in the rank system my avatar is 7.96mb.
or perhaps a limiter to hide models past 20-40mb in safety incase of weak internet for some and you can adjust it. or just show the model.
Nummy ;3
SAADHERO: I was unlucky and met someone who didn't have enough experience or didn't care so after some time waiting for him to load I looked in my firewall to see that vrchat requested 300mb lol
Nummy ;3
SAADHERO: yes a limiter in settings so it doesn't download avatars with more than that size

SAADHERO: my friend told me about how he encountered someone with a 10gb "nuke" avatar that basically freezes the game when it starts loading in. Most of it is garbage texture data. That's the main way some these avatars seem to be made. Really high res textures and lots of them.
SAADHERO
xxx_red_xxx: this is insane 10gb and seeing how models still download in Background when even switched this is torture.

SAADHERO: So you are saying people are not allowed anymore to create Animations and such? We all learned what hard limits will do in the past, people will just go around it. I think a Software Side Download Limiter is the better Option here.
