I had no trouble retrieving these with an FTP client. OTOH my browser 
(iCab) went crazy. The uncompressed images are HUGE--much, MUCH 
larger than the GIF file! I think the main problem folks are 
experiencing is that their browser can't display these huge images.


Change the images to monochrome bitmaps and resave them as GIF's. 
Right now they're in 8 bit indexed color which is wasting an extra 
seven bits on every pixel. This will drop the raw image to one-eighth 
its size. Also, you should set the resolution to 600 DPI (right now 
it's 72).


These scans look great. You might consider doing this sort of thing 
at 300 DPI in the future, which would drop the image to one-quarter 
the size.
