AB, how much traffic is the site currently generating in a week or for the last month. The reason I ask is I would like to be able to work out a way to combine all the Manuals onto one server, photos can be hosted on other servers (Imageshack etc), but it seems best to have all the manuals hosted in one secure place. Having good, hard to find manuals lost due to members leaving and hosting links broken is a pain in the ass, especially when you have to keep uploading them.

There`s got to be a better way to host these files. I'm uploading another lot of Manuals (Patrol GU Service) to a different host, and at 160mb, I don't want to have to keep doing it. So far I have uploaded around 500mb of Manuals etc.

Thanks for your help Chops, we are getting thousands of hits each day which is great but a lot of the memory is being sucked up with the manual downloads.

Iv'e seen a lot of your links in the manuals. Maybe I should download them all and upload them to this server here so It's all in one place.

If your happy with that then I'll work on it later tonight.

AB,

Just realized why Bandwidth is up so high. With all the Guests, including Google Bots, these things generate heaps of traffic on the site. Might pay to reduce the bots and spiders allowed on the site.

Yep agreed mate, We have dozens of bots on here 24/7 that index the site and download everything 50 times faster than a human which does munch it.

I'll look into it mater, cheers for the heads up!!!

Great work Andy. I assume the parts adds mean you are advertising Ebay adds on a pay per click type deal rather than actually selling parts on Ebay yourself?

Yes thats correct Garry. Majority of the visitors on this site actually visit the used patrol part of the website not the forum believe or not so by putting PPC adds on the used car page and now with the parts page loaded should generate a lot of visitors to those pages and pay for the forum.
