I guess some services really like to save disk space. I can still download 
the pics (only posted 24 hours ago) and will be able to do so for at least 
the next couple of days (just tried to download pics from almost a week ago 
without problem). Some may have their newsreaders set to download a minimum 
number of messages. That can be increased.
I have tried a few free webhosting services and found them sadly 
unsuitable. Either the servers were down when I needed to post, or they 
required personal information that I was not prepared to give. If anyone 
knows of a place that is as quick and easy to post to as the binary 
newsgroups I would like the URL please.
I rather enjoy the continuous stream of pics in one place with a huge 
variety from all over the world rather than having to look up and go to 
various URL's that people may post for a few pics.
Another discussion has been going on about people who post massive amounts 
of pics in one sitting, perhaps that is more the problem. Perhaps it would 
be better that people with large amounts of pics post a sample pic and a 
URL to the bulk of their pics.
