for those who don't know i run a forum with a good friend of mines. the site has been up going on 2 months now. we get less then 100 visitors a day at the forum. also he has a section where he displays his graphics. i make a back up of the board's database once every other day. out of fear of being hacked. i see the montly bandwidth stats every time i log into the control panel. because of my constant backups of the mysql. today my friend got a email saying the site had been shut down because we went over our bandwidth. it was a link in the email showing our bandwidth uses. it showed we used a little over 31 gigs of traffic. so i was thinking what in sam hell? the only high traffic area of the site is our forum. which doesn't recieve not even 100 visitors a day. we havent even had 1000 unique hits a day yet. i have never notice the bandwidth go over 800 megs a month before in the 2 months we have had the site up. we don't display downloads on the site. all it is a forum and his graphics displayed (wall papers). we used about 30-40 megs of space. is it possible we actually used 31 gigs? he checked mail last night before he went to bed. at that time the bandwidth stats show almost 700 megs used for this month. that was at 11 pm. my other friend checked the board this morning at 9am before he got ready for chruch and found out the site was taken down. is it possible to use 31 gigs of transfer in less then 12 hours???? what in blue blazin. any host wit common sense would know something is wrong if my bandwidth jumped from 700megs to 31 gigs in less then 12 hours?????? how dumb can my host be? got dammit i want my site back. *jumpin up and down* this is not fair *folds arms* i think i might of got hacked....so i will be bugging the hell out of the asylum until my site gets back up *smirk*

hahahahahahhahahahahahahaha


It's possible to use 31 GB of bandwidth in that short of a time span if:

1) Lots and lots of traffic
2) Denial of Service attack

Do you have a graph of the bandwidth usage from the night in question?

i am ignorant in such things

BUT THAT DOESN'T KEEP ME FROM POSTING!!!

could someone have hotlinked a bunch of your images?

or as a paysite, gotten a bunch of user/pass and given them to free sites?

could that account for it?

Inbound traffic: 5231 MB
Outbound traffic: 32059MB

That works out to 5 GB of inbound traffic and 32 GB of outbound traffic.

Looks like people are coming in to your site, downloading a whole lot of shit, and then leaving without ever coming back.

wow, look at all the wonderful responses. i can't wait til the rest of you assholes ask a serious question.

keta - a couple things that come to mind ...
- someone could sending spam mail through your server
- the server could have been kitted and is being used for DoS attacks or distributing warez
- your hosts tracking software is on the fritz
- your host is incompetent

i guarantee you did not use 36gigs in one month, unless you have some huge downloads available. the asylum transfers less than 20 gigs/mo
