My site's been past it's bandwidth limit for two days, and hasn't gone down at all. What can I do to help bring down the amount of bandwidth I'm using?

Dude128 07-16-2003, 08:08 PM 1) scare away visitors. less visitors = less bandwidth. :P 2) reduce the file sizes of large files such as images, using optimizers and such. 3) reduce page size- use fewer images and less excess junk 4) try combining pages- if you have any multipage tutorials or something like that, for example, with the same images and everything on each, try combining them so that one overall smaller page is viewed instead of two.
