Also as of the flickr website, there is a 20 MB per picture file size limit (same as on photobucket) and there is a 2GB upload limit per month. As such the bandwith for flickr becomes close to secondary in my opinion as batch downloading is not a facility offered by flickr (but 3rd party tools for this exist, haven't used them though) and non pro account holders can not download high res/original size pictures. Re. videos, flickr doen't take swf/flash files. I am currently thinking which account to go for and my impression is that photobucket offers more/better storage and sharing features (on other websites) until we hit the question of discussing pictures within the website with other photographers, where flickr's unbeatable record lies. I like the idea of the discussion and learning possibileties through flickr. Tough design, espacialy as so many people in my course now have a flickr account (do to the teachers expressed wish for us to discuss each others pictures online). One thing though, from my understanding flickr keeps your high res pictures when you go from pro to free (although can only ever see 200 pics in low resolution), which is good should you go back to pro later; whilst photo bucket delets or down scals high res pictures after a few month if you go from pro to free (where you can see 2gb worth of pictures, so alot more than 200). Photobucket Features: Free - Pro Storage space: 500MB - 25GB Image size: 1MB - High res images Traffic bandwidth: 10GB/month - Unlimited* Image dimensions: 1024x768 - 4000x3000 Custom URLs for albums: Root album only - All sub-albums Ads in your album: Yes - No More stats: Basic stats - Full stats Keep links active: No - Yes SWF/Flash file support: No - Yes FTP access to your account: No - Yes Premium tech support No - Yes Hope I got all the info above right. I am not working for or extensively with either flickr or photobucket at the moment. I have taken up free accounts with both to test. Hi,
