Aw, RATS!  You're already over the bandwidth limit at 9:20AM PDT on monday.
Check your images and reduce their file size as much as you can.  If the
image is a graphics line drawing, use the GIF format and do it in two colors
as this is the smallest that you can do for any image format.  Don't use JPG
format on text or graphics as this format renders such very poorly.
With JPG images, you may want to pick up my Alice program which is a demo
program that a company I used to work for did to show how image compression
works.  It's only bug is that you can't start with a JPG formatted image and
produce a JPG formatted image as a destination.  You have to start with some
other format so the thing is to convert the image to something like TGA and
then bring in that file to do the compression.  Also, it doesn't handle
images of over 2Kx2K but that isn't a problem with web images.  10-15K for
the file size of a medium JPG image is a lot better than a 60K file size for
that same image.
After you do these things, you will probably find that the problems of
losing the access with the website to be a lot lower.
