For some reason my IPB board is taking up a huge amount of bandwidth. I just started up a graphics community and it used 67mb bandwidth on the first day. On the first day we had 180 posts, about 15 users. Anyone know why its taking up so much bw? By the way the site is: http://icegfx.com
Thanks!

Are all the images hosted there? Images take tons of bandwidth. Especially un-compressed ones..

That IPB Version is extremely unsafe and full of security vunerabilities.
Theres a few articles I have posted on using robots.txt files you'll find the bots can eat an extreme amount of bw I doubt its your images unless each and every one is over 1MB and they would have to be huge in file size for 20 members to use that much, also check to make sure your hotlinking is enabled someone might be using your bandwidth elsewhere.

very odd. The banner is hosted on imageshack... now past the 200mb mark. I havent had any bots eat bw, i looked in cpanel.
