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/. > -----Original Message----- > From: centos-mirror-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-mirror-bounces at centos.org] On Behalf Of > jay at ossmirror.com > Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2008 5:54 PM > To: Eric DuToit > Cc: CentOS-mirror at centos.org > Subject: [CentOS-mirror] Re: mirror down - bluehost > > 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.
