however, Flowerpot, for instance, is out in south africa, gets 1gb per month transfer allowances and has to pay a small fortune for the privelege

add up toal usage for b3ta and all other sites that one may visit in the course of a normal

Proactive steps to bandwidth harmony:

Switch off BMP downloads
Get a compression proxy (Like ONSPEED for £25) - compresses web pages and images (although images get quite artefacted)
