You are issuing a lot of image requests over a short amount of time to that web site.

It's the web equivalent of backing up a dump truck to a buffet.

Here is a less greedy alternative:

Go Scroll Yourself! blocks only (No extensions, No JavaScript)

This tutorial is intended for people who need to display a heavily customized scrollable window into a large table. It can also be used as a CardView. (I needed a pithy title, and "The Elder Scrolls" was taken.) My sample subject area for my data is the historical or current set of legislators in the US Congress, both Representatives and Senators, with photos (where available.)

It's because you are downloading the images directly into the List. Downloading them all as a one-off operation on the first-ever run of the App will help, but pre-defining a completed list would be much faster, assuming the List is not going to be edited by the App User.

I see your List is Static, 195 country flags and their related ISO country code? If you can send me a text file (.txt) of the codes and the flag images numbered to synch with the country code I have a desktop program that can convert them into an HTML table (two columns).

You can't upload a zip file of the flags, but you can change the ext to .aia - that should work

this any help?

Flags of the World

Getting and displaying flags of the world is a fairly trivial affair and can be done with blocks without too much trouble. I thought that I would have a go at an extension that contains and supplies all the current world country flags in one package. After several iterations, it seems the best solution, for on and offline use, was to convert all the flags to base64 (thanks @vknow360 for the suggestion) and store them in the extension as text. It is possible to store all the images as assets ins…

you would probably need to use a dynamic components extension to create a listview

you are welcome to the source code, if you want to remix.

You could also use @Kevinkun 's Tableviewer extension:

[FREE] TableViewer - fully style customized to show table data

oh boy, oh boy, oh, boy !! You can add images as well [image] [blocks (18)]

Not tested, but you should be able to set the img src to a datauri to use base64 strings from a text file, instead of images. (data:image/png;base64,/Vsdofihwoefjsd.....)
