as a follow-up, the PCs i use at home (DSL or cable) are 2.4GHz, P4s w/512 MB RAM, 120 GB HDDs (or greater). on average, a renderosity page will NOT load (displays "missing image" icons) after approximately 40 seconds. that seems a long time to wait to confirm that nothing will happen.... refreshing usually gives me a properly displayed web page in 5-10 seconds.

ALSO, clicking on "stop" - while waiting for images to load - and then clicking on a hyper-link will almost always return a "page not found" error. "back" or "refresh" will return the correct "starting" web page. following a hyper-link from there may or may not result in the same type of behaviour - depending on the frequency of image posting at the time.
