Please note that the .fi sites are connected to the internet through a 
combination of 56Kb and 64Kb leased lines.  It really trashes their
net if people start ftp'ing large files from the US.  Check the other
ftp sites first, as most of the GIF's (at least at funic and lut.fi)
were selected from the US sites.

Thanks.
