Re: AGAIN Archive: 403 Forbidden
I have updated this month's stats (post 17) with final bandwidth information. In short, the issue continues, and thus we will have to continue taking action accordingly.
I would, however, like to thank the many, many people who used the site responsibly this month. You vastly outnumber the few troublemakers causing problems, and the difficulty I'm having in hunting down who exactly deserves the ban hammer is a testament to the number of you doing exactly what we hope you will when you come to the archive: download and play games.
Finally, I'd like to ask everyone to please remember that when you listen to recordings, to download rather than stream them. If you're not sure of the difference, if your browser starts playing the audio immediately, it's streaming. Go back, right-click (applications key or shift f10) on the link to the recording, and choose the option labeled save target (or link) as instead. Mp3 audio accounted for over half of our bandwidth this month, and one file alone for over 500gb (yes, it's a long recording).
This is incredibly important, and while we like hosting recordings and believe they're very positive for the community, if they cause us to be unable to continue serving games, then we're going to have to rationalize whether it's worthwhile for us to keep that portion of the site up.
