Ya, They sent me an email saying "It has come to our attention that your site is using an extreme amount of resources on our servers and network. You have outgrown the Hostmonster Shared hosting package. It is getting increasingly more difficult to keep your site online for shared hosting as it degrades the experience for the other users on our server". Then I got a refund message from Paypal with a note saying "Account was taking up too much space on server, account has been deleted and I am refunding the dedicated ip". I have only been using about 250 gig of space and 650 gig of bandwidth a month so I am still confused as to why my account was shutdown. I talked to support last night and they said they have seen allot of these lately. I have switched all of my web pages over to Host Gator. They offer 1 TB of storage and unlimited bandwidth for 12 a month. Hopefully it will be better.

I tried to start a sync going on my new account but I get an error saying to many connects. I'll try again tonight.

I don't see how they (host gator) can offer that much at that rate. I assume they figure most people will just pay it and not come close to using it... They can always rate limit you to say 10mb and still call it unlimited, but still I think they would have to be loosing money even if they cap at 10mb/s... Their rates for dedicated servers are not that good, so it's not like they are getting extremely cheap bandwidth...
I think it's it poor taste that they didn't at least give you a 30 day warning or something...
If you continue to have problems, you may want to setup your initial seed from a different source (and possibly ongoing too), such as rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/.

FYI, distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr host around 4TB of various linux distribution, and 650GB (yes Bytes) is less than the _daily_ bandwidth allow for all anonymous users using ftp/http/rsync (rate limit at 65mbits/s, the university, know mirrors and friends get more).
I fully agree with John... The question is how can they trash all data w/o any warning before ? Woot, I hope they never did that on important data hard to recover !

The old saying applies, "You get what you pay for". Myself being in the hosting industry I've warned people for years about hosting with the el-cheapo hosting companies who promised almost unlimited resources, then their account gets cancelled when they use too much. The policy for my company has always been offer a good deal and good support at a good price, and we've done pretty good. We've had lots of people that have left for BlueHost or HostGator or other el-cheapo hosts, only to come back later. :)
