Thank you very much for the feedback here guys! I believe we will drop the DVDs for now and see where that leaves us. Tru: Please change us to DVD=No.
Why dont you look at your logs and see where the traffic is ? Perhaps an ISP has started using your mirror as a 'local asset' ? a polite email to them might help.
There hasent been any new iso release in the last few weeks, and I would be very surprised if the 5 fold increase in your b/w usage would be coming from generic dvd downloads. If you have limited b/w, dropping the DVD's would be a good idea anyway, I am just not sure if that is whats to blame in your case this time.
Mod_cband looks like it has a great deal of flexibility as well. I will try to read up on it over the next few days. Does anyone know if you can specify a subdomain as a limiting target?
yes you can, Also if you are going to consider dropping the b/w below 50mbps, please consider dropping the mirror completely.
