I'm concerned if it might cause Tim issues. If he
got excessive bandwidth
charges, I will pay them, no questions asked. However, I am a bit concerned
if this would cause a problem. Anyone who has signed up as a bitsavers
mirror as been advised that they must make their mirror public, and they
must be able to sustain a reasonable load (fair share) of bandwidth -
otherwise they shouldn't be mirroring it (this is just meant to make it fair
for everyone, including me). That's not to say that 1/2 the load is fair, it
isn't. But a suprising number of people hit the bitsavers site and then
select their favorite mirror, so I wouldn't think it would have made that
much difference. Let me know if so.
I may have seen an uptick in net usage during that time (Friday and Saturday?),
but it was not severe. The pipe was at 100% for several hours... but it's
at 100% for several hours most any day anyways.
Nothing at all compared to being slashdotted :-)
