Fun in the Murky has an OUCH
I don't know what happened.
For the time being, until I can figure out if it was an error or this really did happen I'll have to turn off downloads on Fun in the Murky.
In the past I've been able to offer a lot of downloads because I have a very large amount of bandwidth. It seems that my host is telling me that in 2 days I've used it all. I don't see how this is possible since I've never gone over the 50% mark before and now they're telling me I used 150% of it in two days. Something smells funny. If I can get ahold of them and straighten this out Fun in the Murky will be back in action. If I can't get it straightened out, well then I owe them $586 USD. Which I don't exactly have handy.
So Audio is gone for the moment. Video is gone for the moment. Bleep Radio's archives are gone for the moment. Basically Downloads are gone for the moment until I can figure out who or what hit the server and transferred terabytes worth of data in 2 days.
Domain fun-in-the-murky.com http: cycle to date 3292.933 gb, yesterday 2432.278 gb
Total used is now 3301.112 gb (155.13% of plan, 1173.112 gb over)
This really sucks guys and gals, sorry for the temporary shuttering....
Update:
OK! It's true...DOWNLOADS will be off for a while it seems.
I don't like to ask for help - in fact I get quite a lot of pleasure with my ability to help out other people with their internet space and whatnot. But I simply can't afford to pay for that huge Bandwidth bill myself. So without further ado I subject myself to the whims of an Internet audience and ask for help. Any amount is appreciated WHOLLY. I don't know if this will work out at all, but any small chunk out of that bill will help me a lot.
I've discovered my Host offers a Donate to my Bill program...How kind of them.
I don't know if this is good or bad...but at least we've figured out what happened. Sort of. One single file was downloaded 28, 285 Times on September 2nd. It was 85 Megs. Is that even possible?
- Despite my server log numbers not adding up my host still doesn't seem to want to admit there has been an error. Still arguing....Downloads might be gone for the rest of the bandwidth billing cycle which is another 15 days. That would suck. If anyone works in the hosting area or just knows a lot about servers/server logs etc. and think they can help me formulate a "for sure" argument for my case...please get in touch. I'm pretty knowledgable, but someone who works in this area full-time could probably help me out. -> bleep@isoprax.com
Thank You!!
