Big Bandwidth Bills On The Way?

| | Comments (5) | TrackBacks (0)

Up until today I've been averaging just over a gigabyte of traffic out of my website - most of it podcasts. So far today, I'm up over 11 GB! And I'm a rather minor podcaster. Who knows what sort of traffic the more well known podcasters are getting after the release today of podcasting support in iTunes.

Ouch! Well I was reading yesterday that Adam Curry pays around USD300 a day in bandwidth charges.

Whats your bandwidth limit and how much (just out of interest) does it cost you?

It's my own physical server at a hosting provider, with a 225 GB limit per month. I expect that today's traffic isn't indicative of the future, but I expect the spike to stay high for the next few days.

I expect the spike is due to a) Current people who listen to podcasts trying iTunes 4.9 out and b) The fact that (AFAIK) iTunes downloads all the podcasts in the feed.

We'll see what tomorrow brings...

You want to run a game server host. I have 10mb a sec package and can move nearly 3.5 terabytes a month currently. :) - it's not cheap. :)

Another legal use for p2p? RIAA must be pissed.

We need to start sharing podcasts via BitTorrent!
