    I have a large number of high resolution images that i want to include
    into my site that will only be accessible by paid members. This will be
    several GB of data (several hundred images) so i can't include them directly on the site. Is there
    a plugin/service that would allow me to store my full resolution images without slowing
    down my site and only be accessible to my members? Compressing the images is not really an option since i need full resolution.

    Thanks

    Maybe this will be too simple for you, but here's how I did this for a client awhile back. The client was happy.

    1. Create a Flickr account.

    2. Upload all the high-res images to the Flickr account.

    3. Use Flickr's privacy settings to adjust "privacy" as needed (control who can see the images).

    4. On a WordPress page (in the client's site) I added thumbnail versions (small) to correspond with the full-res images, and linked each one to the Flickr account.

    5. You may not even need to do step 4. Maybe you would just have a link that says, "Click here for full-res images."

    6. Give each of your members the access information to view and download the high-res images.
