Some of you may know my community blog, averageadmins.com, others may not. If you’ve never visited it, don’t go there now… Or, for the rest of the month of June for that matter. If you are a frequent visitor of the average admins site, you’ll remember last month we had a little issue with bandwidth. Well, this month is no different. It just so happened to strike us as a problem yesterday evening, the 17th of June.
The averageadmins.com web site has 10GB of transfer bandwidth available per month. It was set at 8GB last month and I upped it due to the fact that 8GB didn’t last very long. This month, around the 8th, half of the 10GB was already used. That’s ridiculous if you ask me. I will be doing some research on who is making all of the connections, what type of content they are grabbing, and try to figure out what’s going on. I’ll be posting my progress on here into my “investigation”.
I may have to enlist the skills of Chris to help me further investigate this. He’s a pretty savvy network forensics guy/log parser. Until then, the average admins site will be down for the remainder of the month. If we can determine who is chewing up all of my bandwidth, and block their IP address(es), then I may extend the bandwidth for the month and June and see how it goes… We’ll see.
Until next time…

I’m sorry to hear that. I’ll follow the results of your investigation here. I hope the issue gets resolved soon.

How frequently do you monitor bandwidth usage?? Just curious as to what kind of usage there has been in previous months. Months with pretty much all “legit” activity. Let’s rap about it…haha!
