I'm confused by the above paragraph :-)
Either you have files all over the place that go on your web site, or
you have them all organised into one folder. You say both things (
above ).
If the files ( either scattered or in one folder ) are on your HD, then
just organise them into one folder ( which can have sub-folders inside
too ). Then just look at the size of the folder in Windoze.
Of course, you should have a backup on that Zip drive anyway - of course
you have, don't you :-(

If the limt is 50MB then you will hit the limit, and it will refuse to
allow you more. Depends on the ISP whether they charge much more for
any increased space.
