Re: ntl Webspace badness
Well, sorted now. The AUP people phoned me up and told me what had happened. It was something similar to what I had expected due to the incident with my other webspace.
The guy (Paul, very helpful) said that this particular file had been getting 2093/hits per minute on average, at peak times. The file is 2.8MB in size. I cannot believe that is the truth, he must have meant per hour, or even per day. Either way, it was using rather large amounts of bandwidth. Apparently it had negative effects on three servers in wherever this stuff is hosted - clustered I suppose.
Oh well! Can anyone recommomend somewhere that does dirt cheap bandwidth - no frills? Just FTP and HTTP access - no PHP, databases or other such things.
Now its all sorted, its all good. I doesn't look like I'm going to get the files back (not even the one I wanted) so I'm a bit upset about that, but considering I'm not footing the bill for the bandwidth, I won't be causing any hassle about that.
Thanks,
Jon

If it got that many hits, then there are a good 62,000 peeps an hour that may be able to send a copy back to you!
