Ok guys, I need some help and/or ideas.
The web hosting company I host with provides us with 12gb of bandwidth per month. This is about average among the better hosting companies. It costs me $20 bucks a month for that. For every additional gb of bandwidth, I pay $5 bucks. I bought an additional 5gb for the month of August bringing the total bandwidth to 17gb. (For those that do not know what bandwidth is, click HERE for a definition)

Well guess what guys, it's only August 4 and we are well over 16gb of bandwidth! I never dreamed that we would become so big, so fast. If you take a look at the download page, you'll see that MOB pack 1 has been downloaded 423 times, MOB pack 2, 232 times, MOB pack 3, 224 times and the sound pack has been downloaded 178 times. Each of the map packs is approximately 20mb.... that's a lot of bandwidth!!!

So I am looking for ideas on what to do. I would like to keep these maps on the site for at least the next few months so that everyone can download the new maps.

Druid/Fag - If you guys can find out if we can host some of the files on the servers somehow I would appreciate it. We would just need to be able to link to the file on the server.

If anyone else has any storage available.. let me know. In the meantime, I bought another 5gb of bandwidth.

Thanks

Found another possible solution.
Lunarpages
$24.95 gets 400mb of space and 60gb/bandwith. Extra bandwith is $1.75/gb
$10.00 gets 200mb of space and 20gb/bandwith. Extra bandwith is $1.75/gb

Not a word was spoken to contradict or disagree with S@bot when he called me a....
bully, dictator, snide, hypocrite, arrogant, smartass and lets not forget,
according to him the way I act is reprehensible.
Yet, you're going to censor my signature because it's inappropriate and might hurt his little feelings???
Sorry. don't think so
