OMG! SE.net Bandwidth Exceeded

[Atrocities]

I just tried to access SE.net and got the following message!



Bandwidth Limit Exceeded
The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to the site owner reaching his/her bandwidth limit. Please try again later.



Looks like the latest Adamant update was a huge success. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

I think the main site is just down other parts seem to work

[Captain Kwok]

Time for Fyron to generate some revenue with sneaky Google Ads so he can buy more bandwidth and promote his propaganda and Space Cows with Plasma Udders...

[Atrocities]

I just posted yesterday in the forums about taking on some adds. LOL.... I think this was a heavy download month for SE.net with the new SE V ship sets, and the Adamant and other mod updates. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif SE.net must be picking up some popularity.

GOOD JOB FYRON! Now get some adds going to help pay for the site. Or have a PRIVATE area that you have to be a subscribing member to enter. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif (With features like a points lottery and cool games. You get points for posting, that you can enter into a lottery. The more points you means the more you can gamble in fake on line games in the paid section.)

[Combat Wombat]

lol a paid section for se.net I am not sure that or ads fits with the way Fyron wants to run se.net

[Captain Kwok]

I told him not to mirror the Balance Mod on his site... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

He could have been up for an extra day!

[Combat Wombat]

month ends soon so I think things will be alright but obviously the incredible use of bandwidth was caused by Invasion! mod downloads http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Atrocities]

No it wasn't Invasion, it was the STM updates and forum that ate all the bandwidth up. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Actually, it was the SE5 shipsets. I was hoping it wouldn't actually go over the limit this time.. almost made it!

What can be said. Your site is becoming popular for downloads. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Congratulations I think..

[Azselendor]

I think someone needs some bigger tubes for his interwebs http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

[Baron Munchausen]

Is this even serving them with a bittorrent? Direct downloads using up your bandwidth I could understand, but torrents are supposed to spread the load around. There must be serious demand for those shipsets if you were tapped out even while distributing by torrent.

[Fyron]

There was no torrent for them before a minute ago.

[Atrocities]

Its good to see that the site is back on line. It really is missed when its off line. I go through the day feeling like I have forgotten to do something when I cannot access the site. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Combat Wombat]

Yeah no se.net leaves me with one less place to rip on Fyron at.
