14 Jul 03 - 08:24 PM (#983413) Subject: Tech: Band width limit exceeded? From: michaelr I was trying to access the Old Advanced Forum Search and got this message: The daily bandwidth limit for this customer has been exceeded. Try again after midnight, EST. That's a new one for me. Has anyone else run into this? How come I can start a new thread, but not look at old ones? Cheers, Michael |

Your message means they'd only pain for a million marbles through the pipe per day and the day's allotment was used up. That's all. |

"Bandwidth" is one word, BTW; "band width" is a different problem altogether. I'll resist the temptation to make the joke, but be warned: others might not be so considerate! Steve |

From: treewind Isn't the song database being hosted temporarily somewhere different from usual, following Max's domestic problems? ISP's ration the volume of data fetched from their customers homepages to make sure a few don't hog all the bandwidth. If it's been moved to a 'customers homepages' site that would explain it. If you want more bandwidth you have to pay for it by hosting on 'commercial web space'. Anahata |

Even if the songdatabase was hosted elswhere, this search doesn't look at it. it's a pretty straight subject/username search on the forum. I don't know that anything is being hosted elsewhere. |

15 Jul 03 - 10:14 AM (#983748) Subject: RE: Tech: Band width exceeded? From: Pene Azul I can't imagine how that could happen on a mudcat.org page. You must have somehow been looking at a different page. Anahata, the Mudcat was hosted elsewhere for a few days when Max moved, but only with a message that it was unavailable. Jeff |
