    This message is an FYI.

    The plug-in author states warns potential users of how the plug-in works in the description, but just to be clear:

    If you have hosted hundreds or thousands of images on an external server, like Flickr, and you run this plug-in, it will load all those images onto your WP installation. It will then also create thumbnail files.

    So if you are hosting external images both to increase speed and preserve storage, BE AWARE THAT THE PLUG-IN DUPLICATES THE ORIGINAL IMAGES ON YOUR SERVER. It does not just create a thumbnail.
