On Windows next code work fine:
int len = fullimgurl.length;

On Linux DMD get error that:
Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (fullimgurl.length) of type ulong to int

Why on every OS length have different size?

Its not OS dependent, its arch dependent.
On Windows you are building in 32bit mode but on Linux 64bit.

On Windows, the compiler flag -m32 is the default, regardless of dmd's bitness [1]; on Linux it's -m64 for 64 bit dmd [2]. That's what causes the different sizes. Use size_t for lengths, not int or ulong or any other specifically sized type.

By the way, with -m32, size_t is uint, not int.
