I think that might be the problem with my server, I'll get my admin to check that out, thanks Tysoft!

How much GB of bandwidth does p2l use a month?

I am guessing somewhere around 200 or so?

Currently over 300GB a month

Found the culprit - was right under my nose (log file >2gb) - will be now auto rotating logs & shouldnt have any further trouble! 

Curious TySoft how does a log file slow a site down? Never heard of this before.

Guess it works lol as P2L is loading better.

Been an issue literally forever with Apache. 32-bit builds of Apache (1.3 or 2.0) don't currently handle "large" files. Apache child processes will die trying to write logs which have reached 2GB in size. And the obvious place for Apache to report the problem is -- you guessed it -- the log file that we can't write to.

This is also the reason 32 bit builds of Apache can't serve any files >2gb for downloadng.

Thanks for that, never knew this.

Faken 330GB's is extreme having smaller sig banners and changing the tut thumbnails from gif to jpg would cut that down in half.

gifs are alot smaller filesize than jpgs, especially when in small thumbs, and there are ALOT of noobs that simple save in photoshop and select "maximum quality", cause they think it makes a difference

i'll probably work on something to limit the filesize of sigs on these forums soon, as some are absolutely ridiculous

What exactly does the quality setting in Photoshop for jpg do anyway? I'm guessing nothing?

[Jamie Huskisson]

it does alot if you know how to use it, save for web gives you a better idea of what it does

I always save for web, unless im saving PSD.

You can reduce the quality to around 80% usually without much or any real visual loss.

If the site was nearing 2TB/mo, we would have cause to worry.

Maybe one day we'll face that problem It might take a few billion daily visits, but who knows
