Question Hmmm....

A few weeks after I joined "over there" I had a slightly related problem happen to the bandwidth usage of my website...

I had a couple of links listed that went back to my website and one evening I noticed that my daily bandwidth usage went from the usual average amount (From 0.01GB to 0.05GB) to 1.4GB!!!! I checked my records and saw that one IP/ISP number was responsible, I traced that link back to "over there". (The total size of my website does NOT factor in to the figure at all...I checked with some "web-experts", And they ALL confirmed that to me.) They believe someone/something originating from "over there" was "maxing" my bandwidth...

I was told to by my "web-expert" pals to remove/delete the links and see how long it took for my bandwidth to return to normal, Which took exactly 12 hours after I deleted the links (I bought extra bandwidth for added protection)...Seems rather "shady" IMO dontcha think? Brian J.
