Damn! I was hotlinked by a site BIGGER than thehun... they crashed my server (pic)

Server crashed just as I sat down at my comp today, turns out about 10 pics from one of my galleries was link hottened by a Chinese forum. They're even bigger than thehun...



The graphs do not look pretty, my server was pushing 10Mbps before it turned up its toes and died. It was only responding to about 5% of pings with round-trip-times of 30 seconds or greater.



I've been hotlinked before, but it's never crashed my server. Who would have thought that hotlinking a meg's worth of pics could do it?
