Bandwidth Limit?
Tripod Tries To Suck $4.95 (US) a Month From My Starving Student Hands
Alright, this is kind of fun. I posted a link to the humour section of this page in 'The Metro', over at The Nation Of Cool. Now I don't normally get a whole lot of hits, so all was well in the land of ignorance.
Apparently Tripod only lets me dole out 5.7mb of bandwidth in an hour, and if the page exceeds that amount they take it down for two hours. This is all in an effort to get me to sign up for 'Tripod Plus', and wring my wallet for $4.95 US a month (thats like 9 or 10 bucks Canadian).
Welp, I suppose if your going to break the bandwidth rules, break 'em big. At 1am Eastern Time last night (or this morning I guess) the page used 21.7 mb of bandwidth. Had I signed up for Tripod Plus, the page would have still been taken down for 2 hours. The latest tripod crackdown was for 5pm, when the page used something like 8.7mb.
Maybe I'll move the files over to my topcities account, depending on what kind of bandwidth whores they are.
Peace Out
So If vinyl is pleather, and pleather is fake leather, what's fake pleather?
