Once you download all the frames, your web browser is in charge of looping it; it doesn't keep downloading. If the browser is clever, it only plays it when you have that tab selected - but that would only affect the speed of the browser, not downloads.


That said, GIFs are one of the worse things for dial-up, as they do download automatically, while most video only downloads when you hit play.
