*gulp*

I\'ve been checking my bandwidth stats lately. That\'s another thing that changed with the server crash: on the new machine my site is hosted, bandwidth is monitored (it wasn\'t before). I\'m currently allowed 8 Gig by month. In the first four days of June, 1.247 Gig were transfered. That would make about 9.357 Gig for the whole month of June... I\'m short of about 1.3 Gig. What scares me is that the Oekaki isn\'t even online yet, and that one is a real bandwidth killer (with all those pictures to load several times a day...)

I have to find a solution pretty fast, before we get to the dreaded 8 Gig limit (estimated day of arrival: 25 June). I was asking myself if anyone here had suggestions. Perhaps somebody will think of a solution that didn\'t crossed my mind.

Of course, I can pay to add more bandwidth, but that\'s more of a \"last option\". I want to think about other stuff before that...

That\'s not even twice the amount of data transfers I have on my internet account.

I think it\'s the mp3 section that has the greatest data transfers.

What\'s the main cause of all the bandwidth loss..? If you find that out, then just get rid of whatever that is, or shut that section of the site down for now until you find a solution.

As for a solution..hmm... I can\'t really think of one. >.< I don\'t know enough about bandwidth..

I know that bandwidth is the size of the frequency spectrum of the data transfers which determines the maximum data transfer speed. So bandwidth is actually not the issue. :)

I wish i could help you, but i don\'t know anything about that stuff, as it was said before, maybe you should close the MP3 section for awhile

I\'m just gonna throw around... the term \"Bandwidth Leech.\" Honestly I haven\'t a clue on what to do.

That again?!!! Oh well, rules are rules... It pains me to say this, but the MP3 section must go until things cool down...:cry:
