people who steal bandwidth are dumb |
Sorry for the current look of the site. Lots of graphics and some pages are missing. But all the data is complete.
At about 10:54PM on Oct 11, we started getting about 27 hits per minute to the AVI linspatz made of the Royal Rumble. That's about 1 hit every 2 seconds for a 2M file. This is the capacity of a T1. So, our site slowed down and eventually the web server gave up and crashed. The reason is because this site: http://members.tripodasia.com.tw/lvnd/main.htm has been referencing our site alot and referenced the movie DIRECTLY, instead of making a copy of it for their server. Thus, stealing our bandwidth. I can't understand or read Taiwanese (which I assume this site is) so if someone can, can you PLEASE tell them to stop it? If they continue, then you're going to start seeing a lot of "Server too busy" errors because I'm going to throttle the bandwidth ASAP.
Anyway, sorry about the mess. In about 10 hours we should be back to normal, with a whole set of new scripts to block them.
Thanks for your understanding. ^^ |
