Hey all,
As you may have noticed the forums have been down a couple of times. This has been due to bandwidth exceeding, but I do not believe it's been by humans. I am convinced it's a bot attack. Honestly who else could download 318.88 GB in one day
Either that or my host, servage stuffeded up something. Either way they have been going down hill lately I will start looking for another web host.
Sorry for any inconvenience
Forum down time
Re: Forum down time
We had this once years ago. Someone from Japan downloaded the 2gb filebase 50 times so that we just blocked that one IP. Since we changed the filebase so that directlinking/downloading didin't work anymore we don't have these problems anymore.

Re: Forum down time
Yeah I have it so people can not link directly but nothing in place, as yet, to stop people downloading files heaps of times. It will be part of the new file/download system I am developing. I won't put limits on the amount of files, just the amount of times you can download the same file.
Looks like I found a cool new host, they give more power over the server
