This may throw light on why I am severely attacked by Bruce and 
associates. It also may through light on why any TFN development that may 
require extra use of bandwidth is so fiercely opposed.. They want the 
bandwidth to themselves and their - undoubtedly - private businesses

The following are the files found under two directories on 
gts.torfree.net that uses a server in TFN office with the bandwidth from 
Ryerson (free). My belief is that these directories serve other pages 
that I couldn't guess their subdirectory names, or - at best - they are 
saving these huge files (that require more bandwidth that would be 
charged to their customers as traffic, plus the extra cash for server 
space needed). I believe that these sites most probably do exist on the 
server though and are being referred through a domain name that the 
business has to pay $50/year. No doubt they are charging them hosting.

here are the KNOWN directories of gts, thanks to Brucy's stupidity by 
showing them at the index page of gts.torfree.net

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?
