Well, thanks to Canaca<\/a>, the company hosting this site. When I subscribed the silver plan, in May, it gave to me 10Gb of hard disk space and 40Gb of monthly traffic. The offer got updated with the months and when I asked them if I could use the new possibilities they upgraded my account for free in just a few hours.<\/p>\n

With the last upgrade I was allowed for 80Gb of traffic, monthly. My site in general doesn’t use more than 3Gb so it was way, way more than what I needed, tons of space and bandwith just in case. At least till the other day, when I got linked somewhere and more than 12.000 peoples tried to download one of the patches for WoW I had uploaded. And not even the last that I linked recently on Q23, but the old one, at 20Mb.<\/p>\n

When I checked my e-mail I found that the monthly traffic was exceeded by ‘just’ 80Gb, for a total of more than 140Gb. In a single day. Fun.<\/p>\n

So now I have to thank Canaca for the optimal service, they upgraded my silver plan to offer 20Gb of hard disk space and 400Gb of traffic. After seeing my site going nut I asked them if I could benefit of the upgrade for free, like they did the last time I asked. And a few hours later I find my account fully updated back within the traffic limit and about 250Gb to use just in case.<\/p>\n

Thank you a lot.<\/p>\n

What happens now? I may re-upload the patches but I need to figure out a way so that the files can be accessed only from this site, disabling direct links. And not because I want to use those patches as an excuse to get more hits. I really don’t care about getting more readers. When I started to mirror the patches it wasn’t because I wanted to become Fileplanet or because I wanted to become more popular, but just because I wanted to offer what I can to the peoples frequenting the same message boards I do. Just being useful for something I can do. When I mirrored the patches on Q23 only a few Gb of traffic were used. Now the problem is to cut out traffic that doesn’t belong here.<\/p>\n

EDIT: I did a small research and top referral (3000+ hits) is a goddamn chinese, korean or japanese forum<\/a> …Why the fuck they need a patch for the US version of World of Warcraft? No, really.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
