Bandwidth contest - who uses the most

    One of my sites had a record breaking week for bandwidth recently so I thought a bandwidth contest would be fun.

    The site is currently averaging 500GB (0.5 terabytes) a month. Hoping to break the 1TB mark within 3 months.:eek:

    Prizes (rep) offered to the people who use the most as well as the least.

    How much do you use a month?

    Well I don't use anywhere near as that much, last month I used a whole 238.46 Megs, lol. But I'm already about to pass that this month. It's a really slow process to get traffic.

    Well, back when I used to run some video hosting sites and actively promoting my arcades, I used to be using a LOT more.
    At the moment, with nothing but (unoptimized) websites (no videos or anything 'big'), I'm using around 500-800 gigs a month.. Though I really don't keep track.
    I have my dedicated servers with 2 TB each, and never had any trouble.. Plus its been a while since I actually chekced my bandwidth usage.

    Mad4, what kind of websites do you have?

    I have a bunch of sites, no video though. Most of the bandwidth is hotlinking.

    Haha, want to buy my site? I'm expecting a baby, and not sure how I'm going to keep it up. I only started in October, so I expect UVs to keep going up.

    ;)

    LOL Post your price :)! It doesn't matter what the niche is, even the most unknowing webmaster could make money with that many UV. :D;)

    $10K? Haven't really thought about it. With 1200 feed readers and 400K uniques figured it could easily make someone $1-2K per month. Never put up ads since I've been focused on traffic. My goal has been hit 1,000,000 uniques before changing my layout and adding ads.

    Surely using a lot of bandwidth is a bad thing.. no?

    Not really. It just means you have a lot of traffic.

    All my bandwidth is free anyway.
