In the meantime I discovered that my jpegs, that won't load for me in Arachne, are mainly converted ones by some graphics program like pictview, ftcolor or mspaint. The ones I get from the source are usually ok. Something weird is going on as pictview shows all of them fine too. >Showing a 235KB graphic file as a smaller size >doesn't make it download any faster.

Although it probably would on a top of the line screen. This means that most people wouldn't be able to easily see a complete picture, as thumbnails are too small. > <A HREF="bemax.gif"><IMG SRC="BEMAX.GIF" ></A> > bemax.gif exists in that directory. BEMAX.GIF doesn't. Thanks again, John V
