  Pretty meaningless, all points on the net are about the same work 
away.  Heck the primary group itself has a more secondary files access 
method than a real open FTP area..

  Like who?  What part of donating or selling a portion of my webspace 
and bandwidth would lead you believe one would own it less than they own 
a Yahoo group?  Read through all the limitations of Yahoo group 
ownership and you'll probably come to see that one can own just about 
any other web space far more than you can own a group on Yahoo, no 
matter who it comes from.  Fact is you better have backups because if 
you don't have the server in your physical possession you don't have any 
real control over it anyway.

  Again, while not hard, not the slightest bit easier than direct FTP as 
intially stated, and actually a little less, especially as a secondary 
file area.  You can't even do something simple here like 
http://www.superference.com/temp/cnc.avi because of the space 
limitations.  Get some real FTP space and realize it really won't be the 
secondary space in the first place..  That took only a few minutes with 
a $25 camera to shoot and upload, with free FTP.  Easier than even 
logging in to Yahoo and uploading a picture.

  Currently yes, the files are of less use of themselves than they could 
be, wouldn't have a thing to do with only being able to use tiny files 
though?.  Of course if you're trying to explain to me that two 20 MB 
file areas are better than $5 for some real space or $10 or $15 per year 
with hosts rated higher on independent sites than the one Steve 
mentioned then maybe you're right..  Of course you're right.


  Ok, I'm convinced now, stick with the split 40 MB.
