Yay for bandwidth suckers...

So I guess various places are hotlinking my copy of the Hey Ya, Charlie Brown .mov... I'm even listed as a "mirror site" on the Venis Productions site. [I was listed second on the list of mirror sites, but thankfully they moved my link down the list.]

So I had this lovely little message waiting for me this morning...

At your current bandwidth usage rate, you are likely to pass the bandwidth limit before the end of the month. Either cut down on the size of the files you serve, or order additional services.

Just for kicks, let's examine the stats...

1/19/04 36.674Mb
1/20/04 27.377Mb
1/21/04 20.273Mb
1/22/04 36.386Mb
1/23/04 42.091Mb
1/24/04 36.068Mb
1/25/04 41.036Mb
1/26/04 49.433Mb
1/27/04 42.547Mb
1/28/04 45.723Mb
1/29/04 45.647Mb
1/30/04 251.384Mb <-- The day I posted the Hey Ya, Charlie Brown .mov
1/31/04 471.709Mb
2/1/04 613.902Mb
2/2/04 6.912Gb

Wanna place bets on how much longer that thing can stay up until I have to take it down?

Down it goes.
Excerpt: That darned Charlie Brown parody sucked another 4 gigs of bandwidth so far today & it's not even midnight yet. At this rate, I won't even make it through the week, much less the month. As soon as my server...

Yay! My first cease & desist! (aka Cease & Desist, Charlie Brown!)
Excerpt: It seems as if the people who syndicate the Peanuts are not too happy about that Hey Ya, Charlie Brown parody and have been sending C & Ds out to people who were listed as "mirror sites" from Venis Productions....

More Hey ya, Charlie Brown!
Excerpt: Did you see it? Ya, that 'Hey ya, Charlie Brown' with footage from the Peanuts I was talking about last week was pretty awesome. Unfortunately, the Venis Productions site has been down, but as a public service, check this out....

See? Now I have bandwidth envy... I want a threatening letter from my host! I haven't hit the GB mark in a month. Sigh. Must post more music...

I told you...take it down. This moment. The people who normally come to your site have got it by now, so now you're just playing host to whoever Googles in here with "HYCB".

Take it down! Save us from Joz withdrawal later this month!

What Mikey2 said. Hotlinkers suck.

Holy crap! I'm surprised you kept it up this long - especially once you were listed as a mirror site. People are weenies - never trust 'em to download instead of linking.

Jeeezzzzz!!! Haven't these people ever heard of BitTorrent??? TAKE IT DOWN!!

i still say you should snag a mov file from punchbaby.com (a really really nasty one) and substitute it...but that would just eat up more bandwidth...take it down, girlie...they don't need it! let them find it somewhere else!!
