Well...well.

That just might be the cause of it all. Hmm.

So Infernal Shout is the way to go??

Can I obtain info and the download of that on here?

Man....I sure do hope your right and the chat box is the cause of my issues!! My website isn't that big nor is it that active(I don't feel) to be chewing up the amount of bandwidth we are.

About a week ago, I shut down my photo gallery to try and pin point just where or what was chewing up my bandwidth. My bandwidth stats have not dipped a bit since doing that. I would have thought that for sure it was my gallery pulling it all, but it's not. Or atleast from what I can tell.

I however would like guests to view the gallery, but I guess that's something that I can determine later if I keep having issues.

Here are the stats on just when this bandwidth is being used. Based on what sss stated, it just might be the chat box creating all this.

It is 99% likely the shoutbox causing it. I use the exactly same kind of shoutbox, have the exact same web stats and checked, and it's usually the shoutbox which both uses most bandwidth and has most page loads/hits. Of course, there is a problem, in that Inferno vB Shout, while supposedly using less bandwidth, uses a ton of CPU instead, and shoutboxes in general are prone to high bandwidth consumption, so if you get too screwed, disable the thing.

Dang! I was afraid of that. I actually really like the chat box and so do my members.

I REALLY need to find one that doesn't chew up as much BW. So if any of you have one to suggest, I'm all ears!

I've got clients hosted on my VPS with shoutboxes installed that don't take up any where near that bw usage or CPU usage either. Try to disable the shoutbox for a few days, tell your users its under going some maintanence or something and check the stats then.

Inferno shout is the lowest period out there of all the shoutbox's for bandwidth usage. I cant judge CPU usage on my dedicated server as I didn't monitor CPU usage only bandwidth usage from before I installed it.

Try using this https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=147346 but make sure you use the AOP feature. What it does it is writes to php file the date/time of the last shout. Every X seconds it checks this file for a new post. If the time differs from the one on the client then it refreshes the shoutbox. Not only does this reduce CPU usage as it doesn't do any data pulling but it saves a ton of bandwidth since the shoutbox file itself is what is large and a 1kb file is much better then pulling a larger file.

Also remember to think about how many shouts you show in your box. This obviously increases server load by a lot as its more data it has to pull and also pushes more data to the client using up more bandwidth. Same with the archive.
