| Photobucket Tutorial Photobucket http://photobucket.com/ is a free image storage and sharing. You get 1GB of disk space to store your images and you can use upto 10GB of bandwith Q: I am getting a "Bandwidth Exceeded" picture in place of my images, what is bandwidth? A: Bandwidth, in Photobucket terms, is a measure of the number of bytes passed over time via direct linking to images in your album from out on the internet. It is calculated by adding up the size of each of your images as they are sent from Photobucket. Example: You have various images of 25K each in size - they are viewed by by 100 users on your favorite message board in one day. 25K * 100 requests = 2500K (or 2.5MB) of bandwidth used in one day. Please be careful not to confuse bandwidth with your album size, otherwise known as disk space, which is discussed above.) (Photobucket also have a paid subscription which increases your storage space and bandwith.) How to use Photobucket 1. Sign up with Photobucket. Once you have your account set up and have loaded your images, photos, graphics, videos, etc to your account, you can then link one or more of your stored images to a MSN groups post or reply by using copy and paste. 2.
