Ryan, 100Gb of outgoing traffic may not be as excessive as it appears at first glance, however, it might be easier to judge if you could tell us the number of page impressions and hits the site gets per month. A figure of 100Gb, though, suggests the site would be getting in excess of 30 million hits, and about 1.5 million page impressions. That's just a rough calculation, but if your site is doing something like that amount of traffic, 100Gb of outgoing data wouldn't seem excessive to me.

I'm just trying to get an idea of how much bandwidth their site is using. Looking at the existing site stats, its claiming that the site did 100 GB of data transfer in the month of June! Now this seems like a ridiculous amount of bandwidth to be using, and something must be wrong in the site stats package. Does anyone here who hosts a very high traffic site see figures near this amount for monthly bandwidth? There's no video or huge graphics on the site, its mainly banner ads and a pretty active forum... surely not 100 GB worth though? Thanks for any help... ----------------------- Ryan Sabir Newgency Pty Ltd 2a Broughton St Paddington 2021 Sydney, Australia Ph (02) 9331 2133 Fax (02) 9331 5199 Mobile: 0411 512 454 http://www.newgency.com/index.cfm?referer=rysig --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MX Downunder AsiaPac DevCon - http://mxdu.com/ --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MX Downunder AsiaPac DevCon - http://mxdu.com/
