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. ^^

I had a friend translate lvnd's site. There's an apology there today for overwhelming our bandwidth. I accept the apology, all I ask is that you host images yourself if you wish to reference them instead of linking to them on my site. Thanks!
