>>>If you're still looking for a pretty amazing free graphics program, check out Gimp2 at www.gimp.org. It does everything (including layers).

I've tried, it brought the directory Index page. From this page I think I tried twice unsuccessfully. But I have problems with FTP here.

Anyway, I've simply used 65 vs. 70 percent reduction to achieve the needed dimensions in Paint.
