Looks like my hoster fuck's me. What bandwight YOUR gallery eats? - GoFuckYourself.com

Hi, guys!
I am a newbie at this forum, sorry if something's wrong.

I would like to ask you. How much bandwight your PICTURE galleries usually burn? (Gb's per 100 000 uniques)

I've just compared my counter stats on my galleries and the invoice, that my hoster sent to me - and found out, that according the invoice - my galleries eat something about 27-28 Gb's of bandwith (per 100 000 uniques) (incoming bandwight) + 2-3 Gb's of outgoing bandwight.

So in a total I should pay for 30-31 Gb's of bandwight, though before (several months ago) with same style of gal's I had 18-20 Gb's for 100 000 uniques.

(I have usual gallery with 15 pics (~50-80 kb's every picture)

So the question is : is it possible that usual standart gallery eats 28-30 Gb's of traffic or more?

Thanks in advance !
Meeeeo

BTW. The stats on the server are holding for one day only. There is no possibility to watch the stats for bandwight and traffic on the server for a month or even a week ago, so possibly the hoster can write anything to the invoice - I can't check this out.

never learn to calculate?

page + thumbs = k * visitors = used k on page
avepicsize * ave number of picsize * visitors= used k on pics

heh..
do you really think that every surfer looks at EVERY picture of the gallery?

I heard about a kinda "coefficient" and if I am not mistaken - that is something about "0,2"
maybe I am wrong
So we should count it this way :

gallery size * number of surfers * "coefficient" = ~ bandwight

AM i right?

my surfers click an average of 2 pics.

so if your pics are an average of 45 k you will use
9,000,000k per each 100,000 surfers to your gallery

plus 15 thumbs at 7k each is 105k when each surfer hits the page (keep in mind that YOUR thumbs can be much bigger) plus the page itself at say 5k is 110k is another 11,000,000

so at that, you're talking
9,000,000k for pics
11,000,000k for thumbs and page
20,000,000k each time you have 100,000 surfers hit your gallery which is just over 19 gig

but if your thumbs are bigger or your page is bigger, it can be 25 gig already.

and don't forget banners, backgrounds and design elements.

your gallery could easily use 25 gig or even 35 gig per 100,000 surfers.

I have 300-500k to my galleries daily .. burning 150-200 gigs.. but I do have some movie-galleries running..

cut your pictures down alot, I tend to stick to 30kb a pic and dont go much over, this is due to some sites not listing under 30kb file pics.

Optimize your pages. dont give the surfers good pics just make sure you get listed and they click through.

some hosting companies have TGP deal rates, worth checking around
