hmm i think there are a lot of non-registered lurkers on appleinsider



my h.264 matrix short clips, each of about 5-20mb, resulted in about 5GB transferred over the past few days!! and over 1GB yesterday and today



i loved sharing it with you community peoples, and i'm glad lurkers enjoyed it too, but i'm gonna have to pull my site before the excess hosting traffic charges get out of control



ah well, live and learn \



i still love quicktime7 and h.264 though

    that sucks, but in a way it's cool that a lot of people used something you presented them with. i love being at college because you get webspace and basically no bandwidth limit for things people download. i'm sure if it was an absurd amount they would call and complain, but i've hosted a lot of videos over the past 2 years and it's been fine. \

    If you ever try this again consider putting it up as a Bit-Torrent seed. Then we all share the bandwidth cost.

    no worries. I also am paying for a .Mac account anyway, i have a bit of storage space to spare on the 250mb I have... and .Mac has no HomePage hosting bandwidth limits, as far as I know
