I deleted all files from cache folder, before i run the game tonight (I tested only offline). When i load a custom skin in the game, the 12MB picture.bmp immediately appears (my own skin is 150k .jpg). And immediately appears a custom numbered .dds texture-file too. So... it"s just a temporary uncompressed picture, which the game create and uses to convert the skins.

My apologies guys, I assumed everything in the cache folder was downloaded. I only fly on line.

I trawled through my cache and I found a 2.7Mb .dds file and a 1.26Mb .jpg file for the same skin which I guess is the one that downloaded.

I wonder why CoD creates a 12Mb file from the 1.26Mb .jpg? Seems a bit odd (and heavy handed?)

Tom, out of interest, are you able to explain why the .jpg was created at 22:03pm and the picture.bmp and its .dds file were created at 22:20pm? There are later .jpg files (up to 22:57pm) that don't have an equivalent .bmp file. Just curious.
