# the site uses around 2 terrabytes a month
but that doesn't include all the images that you lot host and the odd bit of flash we sometimes stick on free servers.

# I wonder how bites taste.

# oh, it's 1.21, i didn't know the exact number

# there's no such thing as unlimited bandwidth
it's a myth propagated by hosting companies with watertight abuse policies

# I've been pushing Blueyonder quite hard for over a year
