I think that was a more recent addition to the site.              The site uses $30,000 for bandwidth per month, to give you       some idea how busy the site is. This was noted on a text prompt       that appeared on the web page for a while. the impression left,       was that the owner of the postimage, had rented server space       and the server happened to come with "unlimited bandwidth". That is,       until the owner of the COLO discovered just how much bandwidth       the web site was using, and postimage got slapped with a big bill       (even though the rental had "unlimited" bandwidth). There was some       mild disagreement between the two parties about what was       reasonable network usage.              For the recipients of the pictures, there is a "Download Original"       button at the top of the visited web page, allowing you to get       the full-resolution version of the image.               Paul              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
