I've managed to replace the thumbshots images with my own, which is much better suited for my purpose. I figured I'd share here.
This is the simplest way to do this however it will require some work at your end for maintenance - best suited to the situation whereby the owner of the site is uploading all links.
First of all create thumbnails as you would like them to be and upload to a specific directory, I use "domain/images/library/"
Each thumbnail should be named for your linkid, so 1.jpg 2.jpg etc and all need to have the same extension.
Next, do a search in your templates for
src="http://open.thumbshots.org/image.aspx?url=$link[linkurl]" width="120" height="90"
and replace with
src="http://your.domain.and/path/$link[linkid].jpg" width="120" height="90"
Of course if you want to change the height/width variables, this is where you'd do that.
I found two templates where I had to do this.
Works a treat.
