Nabil, do you understand want the word "bandwidth" means?  It does NOT 
means disk storage.

: The following are the files found under two directories on 
: gts.torfree.net ...

So, what's the big deal?  I've looked at some of the files .. they seem 
innocent enough.

: Notice that some of the graphics have very peculiar names like fucku. 
: Wonder what is there?

At your insistence, I downloaded this one.  The JPEG image cannot be 
resolved with any viewer I have.

   I had suspected that 'FUCKU.JPG' (the upper case is significant; there 
is not such file as 'fucku.jpg'.. would be a graphic of your smiling 
face.  But as I said, my vieweres could make no sense of it.  Do you thin 
perhaps your picture might be in 'asshole.jpg'?  Haven't tried that one.

   Other files that I downloaded were quite innocuous.  For example, 
'Harris.gif' is a balck-and-white picture of Mike Harris (probably a news 
photo).  Then again, perhaps you have an interesting definition of 
obscenity .. hey, call the cops and tell them there's a picture of Mike 
on the net!  That'll shake 'em up!

: Now the subdirectories of images ...

Omigosh!  Noses!  Wtihout even a veil!  Cars!  A mothe and baby!  A 
lawnmower!  Golly, you're onto something now, Nabil!

And you fell for Becker's little trick of setting up an empty directory 
called 'smut' and then denying access!  You really, really, wanted to 
take a look in there, didn't you?
