I tested mangadex.org on this handy privacy inspection website: https://themarkup.org/blacklight?url=mangadex.org
I got this result:

Looks like you can...
God damn, you should shrink that first image and reupload it. This will use so much bandwidth, it already used 256.9 GB of bandwidth just for that page!
EDIT: forgot about data saver.
@doppler Sorry for the late response, you found some interesting flags there. I would personally keep the original script because it does the job I intended for it, just remove the extra data. Leave the rest to the scanlators. I will maybe add in that -nodate flag for my personal script.
I...
Hey, you should try to make smaller png files, i downloaded all the chapters for Tennen Gyaru Kawaguchi-san! and I managed to losslessly shrink all the png from 47 MB to 31.5 MB just by using the method described here: https://mangadex.org/thread/242338
Doing this in the future (and maybe...
You should losslessly optimize your PNG files, i noticed that you could save about 15%-22% of the filesize from the latest chapter you posted: https://mangadex.org/chapter/902900
Save the users and the site some bandwidth :)

Ah, I see. that seems to makes sense, thanks for clarifying.
I still haven't tried the other stuff you added, all that color stuff seems scary for non-grayscale images but I will try it later when I have the chance.
@molen I could never get pingo to use one folder at a time while also only doing png's AND all subfolders but i tried that command now and it seems to work, maybe I did it wrong. Your edit should work just fine but it would make it more specialized for one directory, users who want to try it...
@gomichandesu I checked went to your profile and downloaded a couple of pages and it seems you're doing ok so far! 😉
This is fairly low compared to other less stuff i see which is maybe 5% to 50% saved

Yes please all scanlators start doing this! I made a thread about this: https://mangadex.org/thread/242338
The thread also has a very basic pingo script that is a bit more consistent and doesn't slow your PC quite as much. You just drop the bat file in a folder to handle all the PNG's in...
Mangadex is gonna do this serverside now to save 1.5 TB, this is great! https://mangadex.org/thread/250545/1/#post_2131669 I wonder if someone saw my thread, they probably had been thinking about this for a while also though.
I've been considering to convert all my archived manga to webp...
Great job with the redrawing! Couldn't you save them as PNG files and save some space though? I tried opening one of the pages in this chapter in paint.net and save it as a png png with 8bit color and it would be half the size with 8 bit color depth. This would make it go from a 3 mb jpeg to a...
I just read this: https://mangadex.org/chapter/889502
Great nice looking PNGs but the filesize is huge! I tried compressing page 6 and I could losslessly make it to go from 1662 kb to 810 kb. That means the file is twice as large as it could be.
Please compress the PNGs before uploading, more...
You should optimize the PNG files before you upload them, you could be saving almost 50% of the file size losslessly. It would really save the site and everyone reading some bandwidth.

Thanks for your great work! 😄
@Cyberbeing Wow, pingo was waaay better! I modified the script and it chewed through that chapter in the first post in like 8 seconds on my 4690K and it was even smaller!
Here is the updated script:
@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
SET "sourcedir=%~dp0"
FOR /r "%sourcedir%" %%a IN (*.png) DO (
pingo.exe -s9...
