oy leechers
i never really worried about leechers on some of my domains because they really never had anything someone would want to leech
well i forgot to turn on hotlink protection i guess on one site that some chineese hotlinkers found
look at this crap
Bandwidth transfered this month 1592.67GB (As of Friday July 18th 2008 05:19:53 AM)
Bandwidth transfered last month 116.66GB
i was wondering why my sig was loading so slow and support didnt figure it out so i did my own work today and found the problem ... hot linkers
so i hit up my rep :(
this is no way an attack on the hosting company i use ..just frustrates the fuck out of me and im using gfy to vent
