Bandwidth problems
Site news, by Dr. Cossack on 25 June 2002 at 0:31
If you tried to come here during the last 36 hours, you'll have noticed that it wasn't quite working. Instead, you were getting that very pretty and descriptive error message (Ok, enough sarcasm for now). The problem is that I ran out of bandwidth for this month. As soon as I hit that limit, the whole site goes offline and I have to pay extra fees to get additional bandwidth. Unfortunately, with popularity comes problems, and that is a big one. I hope we will be able to get through this month without any more problems, but if I see that we're getting dangerously close to the limit, I'll have to shut down a section or two for a couple of days.
If you happen to have any ideas about how to avoid those problems without closing any sections of the site, please let me know. Thanks.
P.S.: For those who do not know, bandwidth represents the amount of data that can be transfered from this site every month.
