Charlie,
Did you read the first post in the *Access & Information* thread? It's kind of a *must* read.
The server for the Repository is in my house... it's *not* on OGR. I kept it light (that's why you cannot view photographs on the server) so it's not totally inundated (it can get a thousand hits a day) and to make sure that downloading remains reasonably quick. Remember... it's free!
