the set of images have been removed and after getting numerous emails, I have included RMagick's functionality back into the plugin to provide various image styles and the different levels of distortion. Still, the images are not saved on the filesystem but will be rendered on the fly.

This plugin is now using a directory of 26 jpeg images instead of distorting a single generated image with rmagick... but what would prevent someone from downloading these images, then running a checksum comparison against the images grabbed for the captcha to determine which letters were being displayed? Isn't this a step backward?
