Kepkezelo.com is a quite unreliable Hungarian image hosting service. Images from before June 2014 don't seem to be available, and there are several bugs on the site.
To make it even worse (although it's less a problem), they don't let people access uploaded pictures sequentially. Just a "random picture" button helps archivists, which is also buggy.
The website has also been broken recently, for most of the existing pictures the image page doesn't load, although the images are present on the server. Update: image showing works now, yet several other functions are still broken. Not too many pictures are shown from recent times, too.
It's not a place for advertisement, but you are strongly discouraged from using that site while it's in such a condition.

Technical issues
The biggest issue is that for most pictures, the image page shows an error message, and a subsequent page say the image is not present on the server, even if the image is present on the server.
The random image function gives valid (i.e. present on the server) image IDs, but until the above problem gets fixed, the image pages for most of the pictures can't be saved, so worth waiting for it to be fixed.
Image showing works, several other functions not, e.g. links page, download button leads to the above error. So it's not fine at all.

Archiving
Wayback Machine doesn't (can't) archive the pictures.
user:bzc6p made a discovery using the "random picture" function of the site in January 2015, and downloaded the discovered pictures. Here is the archive: ~45,000 images downloaded, ~17 GiB total.
Since that, the "random image" button does very rarely show newer pictures, and even Google search shows only few of them, so at the moment discovery wouldn't be effective, so the archiving can't really be continued.
