Ken, Interesting. With Arachne 1.7r3 on my 386 with a 56k US Robotics Sportster I get complete images. Of course with a twenty second cycle time I only get a moment to view the image before it is replaced with a new download. Arachne shows just a blank screen during the downloads.
But what's the utility of this site? I don't get it especially. Why show live images of a street corner in Portland, Oregon to the world? I wonder if the people crossing the street there have any idea they are being observed and recorded? Of course there are cameras everywhere now. So much for the right to privacy. We are being watched.
