Hi Jeff, (my apologies about my english level)
what about anonymous (no user login) request ? If i have some users requesting for public album in same time, will it be detected like 1 user or not ? Since request will come from same server. Otherwise, is it possible to have an agreement with google (if traffic become too heavy) ? 2008/11/24 Jeff Fisher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Hi, > > Well, certainly it applies per user.
