-1 to restricting browse host.

I like the "Open Information Sharing" idea--keep it open.

Anyway, I browse AND share, so didn't find NodeNomad's arguments relevant.

Since I search and share files auto-named by digital cameras (mostly), browse host is really the only way to find more of a set and share too.

Try searching for "DSCF jpg" and figure out which one of a series comes from which host--virtually impossible without "browse host"

Those very few people who are curious about mine are in the same boat. I allow 10 uploads at a time, so it's really only the browse hosters that get to look at my photos.

C'mon gub: if we had a html way to share our photos (flickr-less), then maybe browse host would be redundant. Until then, keep it open.
