You have to click on the 'Free User" box under the slower speed dial,
then wait about 2 minutes while they intentionally slow down the
download speed, then click on the Download button when the download is
complete. I only got to the last step before I quit. Too much trouble
for me. The OP should use another free web hosting site if he wants us
to view the photos.

What was used to zip this?
Has anybody been able to unzip? I have tried winrar, winzip, pk zip
reader and windows builtin

Winzip 7.0 opened it for me. However, I also have XP and I tried the Explore
feature which lets you look at zip files with Explorer. Winzip opened it
pretty quick but Explorer seemed to take a bit to load it. It's 20 MB so I'm
not entirely sure if that's the issue or not, though if held at gunpoint and
forced to bet that's how I would go.

I couldn't get the images to open from Explorer while still inside the zip
file. Couldn't copy them out either. I wne tback and tried Winzip and got asn
error while trying to extract one image. It appears there may be something
wrong with the zip file. That or it was compressed by a much newer encoding
that isn't backwards compatible. But not working in Explorer, I figure
something is screwed with the file itself.

God, guns and guts made America great.

And Janet Napolitano nervous.

Which should tell you all you need to know about Democrats. How can one
restore America to greatness if greatness makes you uncomfortable?

Obviousman - 28 Mar 2010 10:13 GMT
That's what happened to me.

Could the original poster please talk to use and get some alternatives?
I'd really love to see the images.

If you look at Terry Ashley's (who ran PMMS) blog, http://tinyurl.com/
yhowrj3, he suggests that the site was "stolen" and the postings on
Rapidshare are by those responsible.  Therefore it's possible that this
was done by people with little technical knowledge, hence the issues
unzipping.

It appears that is a dispute at the root of this, but I am ignorant of
the details.
