Is there a bandwidth limitation on your webspace?
 
A bit of an extension to my "1gb daily cap" thread, I'm curious if there's any cap on the amount of bandwidth available for use on your personal webspace, I want to host some music files for a website on my personal space but I'm worried about the amount of bandwidth available and any limitations there might be on it.

Thanks.

There's no official limit, but from the User Policy, section 8...

If your website generates abnormally high hit levels or generates abnormally high levels of network traffic, we may at our discretion move it and/or restrict access to it and you shall be liable for any additional charges arising from our action. This may include but is not limited to suspending your Internet access.
Also, if you are planning to host any music files, make sure you own the copyright, or can provide proof of your permission to use the works therein. Also from section 8:

Damn, I'm all paranoid since reading about that cap thing the other day, time to find additional hosting space I guess :(

But the same rules apply - the only difference is you know the cutoff point.

If you want to "host music files", then unless they are out of copyright material performed by yourself, bandwidth may be the least of your worries!
