Storm Chasing... (OT) exceding bandwidth discussion
SleeperMan wrote:
dj_nme typed: snip storm chasing discussion Nice pictures. Bandwidth is related to the number of people who view the site and not the size & number of files there. Viewing the site uses bandwidth, more viewings equals greater bandwidth usage. Aha...that's why i sometimes TRY to d/l something and i get error, like too many downloads, please try tomorrow... Probably true if it is a d/l from a free website (geocities, angelfire, et al). The other reason could be too many people trying to d/l the same file or too many people accessing (or d/l-ing other files) the site at the same time. There is a limit on how much data can be sent (or taken, depending on your viewpoint) from a server at once before the available transmission bandwidth is exceded. Bandwidth is like a waterpipe, it has a fixed upper limit (like the diameter of the bore) and can only conduct a certain amount of data at one time. A good example is your internet connection speed. |
