    Do you ever wonder how much bandwidth DP takes from every hit. They have a tone of both JavaSCript and HTML code. how the hell do they afford all that, even with compression?

    It's about 60kb + images per hit (obviously depending on what page you visit), so yeah, quite a lot.

    I pay for my own BW on DP :p
    I have about 4000GB BW lifetime (last time I checked from donation $ and current server BW fees)

    Can't imagine but I guess the monthly costs of such bandwidth usage must be astronomical.

    dp has a massive server, it can handle it ;)

    probably a 100MBit Connection = 3000GB/Month BW
