Pleased to see that the Helsinki School of Economics (Finland)
finally has its newsfeed installed.  What you need first is a primer
on FTP usage, for example the prerecorded instructions on how to use
garbo.uwasa.fi anonymous FTP archives.  I'll send them separately to
you (or to anyone else who asks for them) by email.  When you have
looked into the instructions to get the basics, start by getting the
/pc/INDEX file list, and then look at the files in the /pc/gif
directory.  You'll find a number of gif viewers in there. 

(I restricted my reply to comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d only, since don't
want traffic from alt.sex.pictures.)
