Uploading a skin that is larger than 8 kilobytes gives the upload error of: "File is too large"

Skins are 64x64 pixels in size. An uncompressed png of that size is usually around 19kb. Some skins, even compressed, are too large to be uploaded.

I understand that this limit was made so that larger skin files don't need to be loaded when joining a server with multiple people on, but, really? 8kb?

Recommendation: make maximum skin file size 24kb or 32kb.
