We had an earthquake over here, not long ago, almost died, luckily I didn't, but my wifi did, so I was soooo bored ;_;
I connected to osu via mobile internet, which is expensive and limited, it lasted for like 6 hours, but I think it can last way longer if
there's like a little box you can untick to stop loading user's avatars, maybe, who knows.
If there's something else you could think of related to limited internet settings, please comment so I can add it here >u<

And YES I know playing osu isn't priority after an earthquake but jeez I can't help it ;w;

Oh well...
If there's a toggle for minimizing internet usage then I would support this.

This may be nice, but I don't think many people will use it

Only people who pay for "limited internet data" instead of "unlimited internet for specific period".

It could be useful to at least 10% of every players though.

I doubt you will save a lot of bandwidth, you probably spend more of your data on a browser instead of in osu!

most of the times you are just loading scoreboards, the chat, the who is online when you press f9

maybe in multiplayer you would use some more bandwidth on avatars and song previews (supporter)

yap, from my experience, 2 hours of playing only spend like, 40 Mb ? i think you can spend more data when browsing than playing osu! for the same time spend...

Having a toggle to disable avatar in the scoreboard is already very useful, even it saves some MBs but it could potentially reduce strain by some scale to the server if many people used it at the same time.

Just my idea.

Testing by scrolling through the user list, osu! uses about 500kb/s - 1 mb/s of data. Gameplay uses no more than 64 kb/s. Beatmap downloads... well full speed. I guess the solution is network data optimizations and toggles? If I played osu! 7 years ago, I might be able to relate with the slow DSL connection split among 3 computers, but not now. This will most likely come when osu! is open sourced and someone who can sympathize makes something for this request.
