przedTaking a break from the tedium that is packing up our main floor to get hardwood this week, I went online and just for fun decided to check the stats on my website. Only to find out that I was already over 3 GB for the month. And it's only May 8. I don't usually use 3 GB in bandwidth for a whole month.
In poking around, I found one site that's linked directly to one of my LotR vids. I'd normally just send them an email asking them to link to the main page. Problem is, the site's in Chinese, and Babelfish chokes on translating it. (Anyone on my flist read Chinese well enough to figure out the email for this page: http://bj2.netsh.com/bbs/98534/messages/3680.html?)
The other, more major thing I found is that my Pros vids got 350 hits. In one day. Each. Can't figure out where that traffic's coming from, but I'm just betting someone's streaming the vid instead of saving it to their machine. Prats.
Consequently, I've zipped up those vids so that you have to download them to watch 'em. I'd really held off on doing that, but it looks like it's time. I'll be zipping up the rest of the collection over the next few weeks. Once the hardwood floor is installed, anyway.
