[Michel Beauregard]

size of texture download  in opensim  /  SL : 
extracted from ref  to my knowledge opensim has the same limits in regard to texture oing 


ref:
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Limits


All Viewers
   
   -  Maximum texture size - 1024×1024 pixels      
      -  All Second Life textures are constrained to powers of 2 (e.g., 128, 256, 512).
      -  Some textures inworld have a resolution as high as 2048×2048; this is due to a previous limit that was higher.
      -  We strongly recommend you use as small textures as possible because larger ones consume more memory and take substantially longer to load.
      -  Where large textures are being forced by import to only 512×512, lower your ...> Preferences >...> UI Size under 1.0, to increase import size to the max 1024×1024.

since media on prim is not going thru opensim / SL server as its direcly sent to viewer its not subject to those limitation as far as I know. ( correct me if I am wrong ) . 

I did an experiment a while back before media on prim in  opensim (ONLY ) with osSetDynamicTextureURL . That function available then presented web image (only tag img )   on a prim face inworld. It says new on the osl script page so I suppose the mechanism must have been updated.
