The yahoo group gives you free storage space that others can access regularly. If I put up files that were 1 meg large on a free webhost like tripod, after two people accessed it, that would blow the bandwidth allowed and no one else would be able to access it for hours.
You have have 20 meg worth of files (movies, etc) and a whole mess of photos (something like 40meg).
Yahoo groups are often set up for mailing lists, but you don't have to use them just for that purpose. If you're still interested, just go into any Yahoo group and poke around a little.
Others are set up to share photos. I know somone who has an invitation only yahoo group for photos of his kids. No one can get in unless he invites them. His family and friends are members. He just puts the photos there and can just send out a special message from the group to all members that he's added more photos. They are very versatile.
The movies I have there now are:
1) Tiger I traversing turret
2) Panzer 38(t) climbing slope
3) T-34 drive by
4) close-up Tiger I drive-by
I'll add more movies, and lots of images, over the next few days/weeks.
