 Bandwidth question One of my sites gets around 700 visitors and 4500 page views per day. The bandwidth usage for the last few months goes something like this:
My question is, if I had another site with similar traffic and no sound files on it would I have the same issues with large bandwidth usage? hmm…. I seem to be answering this question myself. It’s the sound files, isn’t it?         |

| The sound file and also large images tend to increase you bandwith the most, and yes you answered yourself there.

| You might want to check what the bots are doing... I had some very "interesting" issues with bots constantly downloading .deb files over and over again (each one was about 20 meg)

| good point there, Michele. you can get around that by linking to the sound files using JavaScript instead of straight links. for instance, instead of <a href="blah.mp3">blah</a>, you could try <a href="javascript:document.location='blah.mp3';">bl ah</a> (yes... accessibility, but there may not even be a problem here: I heard once that the more common "text-readers" are based on IE, and /can/ read JavaScript) |

| The saner solution is to put all your multimedia files in a specific directory and tell all the bots to leave it alone in your robots.txt
