What uses the most bandwidth on a paysite?

Downloading large video files, streaming videos, or a lot of hits? I used up 2500GB on only 57k hits so I wonder if it's my members using it up either downloading files or steamind them?

Webmasters spanking to the free content usually uses the most.

Check out strongbox and throttlebox from bettercgi.com - they'll help you control access to the site and let you view how many MB of content is being downloaded by your members.

The title of the thread is what uses the most bandwidth on a paysite? In my experience, it's the FHG. Bandwidth was a big surprise to me when I got started - I figured $200 and I'd be good for a month.....The bill was $4k that month from overages.. Good times.. Thankfully the hosting company waived it and only charged me $1700.

Kind Regards,

Eric

The most bandwidth goes out with videos....

Also make sure people aren't getting in for free.

Stories, it's always the story leechers that will fuck up your hosting bill.

I had to install a perl gzip cgi so I didn't go over my 100mb/day quota at GeoCities Professional Hosting.

Affiliates use the most bandwidth on a paysite. Hell affiliates are your biggest cost for everything in regards to the typical paysite.

Free hosting, hosted galleries, etc.

Yeah, especially if you use $5 words with lots of syllables.
