Yeah - Had that happen once before and I un-blocked the site and raised the bandwidth limit - So did it again this morning (Site hit 2 GB Bandwidth and no your remote hosted images do not affect that) - The bandwidth is counted just based on what is sent from server - which is why we have the restrictions on ability to download , and do not allow uploads of images. - If we had downloads section wide open, then the search engine robots and "site scrapers" would gain access to the downloads section and download the same documents over and over and over - bandwidth usage would go through the roof.
How poor are they who have not patience. What wound did ever heal, but by degrees? - Iago (Othello Act II, Scene 3)
