| yup, my forum http://forumchunkies.co.uk uses about 1.8GB a month. Its hard to tell, as i have other stuff using the badwidth, so i cant get a good fix on the actual amount.

Join Date: Jun 2006 Posts: 48 Location: Hattiesburg, MS | Thanks, I have some bandwidth going to other areas, mainly because of spiders or spam bots, but nothing like my forum which probably uses 95%. The fact that I have to purchase bandwidth every month continually amazes me. At my old host, I used about 15 GB per month, and that was only 3 months ago that I moved. | ||||

Join Date: May 2006 Posts: 431 Location: Central Ohio, USA | My bandwidth usage ranges from 30-36 GB in the past few months... Considering we have over 500+ screenshots and 906.40 MB of downloads... that's not too bad for me. subnet_rx, 40 GB isn't bad for the level of activity your forums seem to have... | ||||

Join Date: Jun 2006 Posts: 48 Location: Hattiesburg, MS | Ok, I have just been wondering. My needs have tripled in the past 3 months, but my posts per month has only went up about 50%. Lurkers must be taking a lot of the bandwidth. | ||||

| Just a tip for you all, try excluding your images directory using robots.txt. This saved me A LOT of bandwidth. | ||||
