This is one approach we can take, but we really don't want to. Apart from
everything else, we still have a disk space problem. Our ISP charges us
US$1.00 per meg per month for everything over 100 megs. We simply can't
have a decent site to mirror with that sort of cost (remember our old
filebase ? 1000mb or so ?). And if we can't have the master files on our own
server, it becomes really hard to administer, especially if we allow uploads.
