Well, I'm on a Mac and I like to use Quicksilver (by Blacktree, free) with the image manipulation plugin.  It's literally three keystrokes to batch convert all my TGAs to JPGs for uploading.  I can also scale them down if they are still too big.

Please note that saving as a JPG removes the alpha channel, as it's not supported in the JPG format.

...and many of the tga files Tremulous uses are just alpha channels.
Before I understood how to use them in Photoshop, I was opening a lot of white squares :P

Why would you want to convert lossless TGA images into compressed, lossy JPEG images? Please stick with the TGA format as much as possible, it yields the best results.

Try GQview for linux or Irfanview for windows. While people correctly state GIMP can also view TGA images, it's a bit impractical since GIMP is not an image viewer at heart, but an image editor.

So if he wants lossless he can use PNG. At least it won't be the giant waste of space that tga files are.

Lossless images compress better than jpg's.

AKA you should really get into it, the power is unbelievable.  I was intimidated at first too, but it's easy to learn and about a week after you start  you will wonder how you ever survived without it.
