After a short wait the pics will come back, if you exceed their bandwith they suspend them pics for a short time only. They will allow them after there sugested time. Here are there limitations.

You are allowed 1,500 megabytes of bandwidth per month for free accounts. This is approx 30,000 direct links and resets each month on the day you registered.

Photobucket Account Features and Image Management

Q: How much disk space and bandwidth do I get?

A: Currently, Free accounts get 25 MB of space and 1,500 MB of bandwidth per month. Premium accounts have bandwidth restrictions lifted and have up to 1 GB of disk space. Please see Upgrade for more details..

Q: I am getting a "Bandwidth Exceeded" picture in place of my images, what is bandwidth?

A: Bandwidth, in Photobucket terms, is a measure of the number of bytes passed over time via direct linking, etc. It is calculated by adding up the size of each of your images as they are sent from Photobucket. Example: You have various images of 25K each in size - they are viewed by by 100 users on your favorite message board in one day. 25K * 100 requests = 2500K (or 2.5MB) of bandwidth used in one day. Please be careful not to confuse bandwidth with your album size, otherwise known as disk space, which is discussed above.

Q: How often does my bandwidth usage reset?

A: Bandwidth resets each month on the anniversary of the day you originally registered. Example: you registered on the 5th of June - your bandwidth will reset on on 5th of each month. You can view your original registration day in your 'Account Options'. Please see the 'Member since' field.

Q: I removed a number of images from my album but my bandwidth has not decreased.

A: Bandwidth is cummulative over time, it does not go down. Please see the question on what is bandwidth. Your bandwidth usage resets to 0 each month on the anniversary of the day that you originally registered.
