Thanks to GoogleBot stripping 25% of my allocation1 and spamming squirrel monkeys hammering away, there is a good chance I will be out of bandwidth in less that 7 days. Unfortunately my host does not do pay-per-extra so if I am gone I will be back on the 1st.
I had planned to run my new theme this weekend, but extra visitors will definitely tip the balance. Backups have been taken, robot.txt is blocking everything, here’s hoping traffic eases a little. Being sans blog will be not fun at all.

I get that with the Inktomi bot. It’ll regularly take 50M bandwidth a month, the git fiend that it is.
I could deal with 50MB, which is about what the MSN bot takes each month. However, the 511.59MB so far that google has snacked on is a little more than unwelcome. Hopefully it is just an occasional thing, and doesn’t become a monthly problem.
Ian not sure what your hosting package is but why not See what FreshlyPressed are offering? You know that man Podz is behind it.I have never looked back since moveing to them.
I had been thinking about that recently. Though it seems a shame to leave a host I have been 100% happy with solely on the basis of needing more bandwidth when the bots go crazy.
