Gallery submitters... how much bandwith do you burn?
 

How much bandwith do you guys go through in a month? And how many sites do you submit to (on average).

Thanks :)

I've seen some clients burn over 130mbps on some MGP listings.

Depends on a) what galleries you submit (TGP/MGP) b) how many you can get listed and c) on which site you can get listed.

If you have many partner accounts and/or paid spots on high-traffic sites, it's probably quite easy to use up huge amounts of bandwidth.

Personally I don't submit much, but my last gallery listed at thehun got me +8 Mbps average the first day and 2-3 Mbps the second day. And that was gallery without any movies, just pictures.

So, do the math. My guess would be a couple TB each month if you're serious about submitting galleries.

Heavy days with hun listings? 230mbps

average? 175-200

niche category submitters can burn much much less. perhaps even less than 50mbps on an avg. day

and that's with decent amounts of traffic, on MGP/TGP, and submitting video gall's..

I'm going to submit some my galleries.... but after have read this thread I think that I should talk with my hoster about bandwidth

I can't tell you. :P I'm embarassed.

Too long? :1orglaugh

You sure you're not talking gigs? Cause 230 mbps is a fuckload of bandwith.

thats a lot of bandwidth being burned

But you dont know the fucking answer do ya??

I got a hun listing soon, please tell me about the bandwith Im going to burn :)

The last gallery I had listed on the hun was a pic gallery. It was in the 20th spot listing, it burned 70gigs over a 4 day period. So if its a movie gallery expect at least double that.

150-200 gigs a day average on my run of picture gallery.

Paid spots + lots of partner accounts.

That's 2200 gigs a day.

I guess that could be doable with daily MGP listings on top tgps ;)

Uh... 230 mbps a day is 73600 gigs a day. That's 73.6 terabytes. YouTube is estimated to be pushing 200 TB a day and paying a million a month in bandwith.

That's 368 movie galleries each burning 200 GB a day, every day. I'd love to know what TGPs can push that kind of traffic every day that will convert well enough to cover bandwith, listing costs and still turn a profit.
