In reply to: Excessive Bandwidth UsageHi DGold — I might try SK2.
I actually have a large amount of bandwidth available as well. But I host a multitude of sites with it and some band related where I’d like most the bandwidth issue to go. I just thought if I could track this problem down instead of always increasing the bandwidth on the site it would be better. I’ll try a couple things out tomorrow afternoon I think.

In reply to: Excessive Bandwidth UsageDgold – I don’t have access to the stats/logs at the moment. I did download the raw logs onto my laptop that I have with me and I’ll unpack and go through in a bit although I’m not that great at reading them. Although from memory there wasn’t a major thing that I saw standing out. Most hit was the root directory if memory serves right and I can see this being the case with a lot of the incoming links being the spam links that I mentioned above.
As far as images/mp3s/large files go this isn’t the case. There’s no mp3s and I made sure that the images were optimized and the user of the site actually went back through and reduced the size of the photos even more.
samboll – If you saw above I have those two plugins activated and working as well as a couple other ones yet the problem persists. I think Bad Behavior might be stopping the new trackback spam but the ones that have already hammered the site are still persistent. Any idea on how to remove previous ones before the plugin was installed?
I installed these plugins and had them configured properly about a month or more ago.

In reply to: Excessive Bandwidth UsageYeah it’s getting hit pretty bad compared to the actual real comments for the site. For the month of May it looks like:
Viewed: 686
Entry: 450
Exit: 580So there I can see that people are going directly there although I still don’t think it’s a major problem although part of it.
If I look under “Connect to site from” and then Links from external page the first site listed is a real site linking to the blog with the next 50+ (I stopped counting) being junk links — pharmaceuticals, casinos etc. So I’m thinking this is part of it as well.

In reply to: Excessive Bandwidth UsageThe traffic “doubled” but I believe a lot of that is the hammering of the site from spambots etc. And that’s what I’m looking at preventing. It’s not a main stream site by any means. Basically a personal blog so I don’t think it’s real traffic but moreso the spambots and fake trackback links coming in etc faking out the stats.

In reply to: Time for July posts not displaying properlyWOW. Don’t I feel stupid. That worked. Clearly a typo on my part when coding it up.
Funny thing is I never noticed it before as I put the page up in the double digits of June so I always just assumed the time was just a bit off on the server from my clock time as it was always just off by about 10 minutes.
Thanks for the keen eyes for spotting that.
