Greetings all,
My site appears to be using too much bandwith. Iam on a shared hosting server and my provider has told me I am using in excess of 16% whilst I am only allowed 3% It also appears there about 50,000 visitors a day to the site which is a bit alrming as I have less than 300 members,
What modules or scripts do you guys think are causing this excessive bandwith usage? I am running drupal 4.63
1. In your web server goto the Drupal root dir (sometimes /public_html) and delete "xmlrpc.php", or rename it to "xmlrpc.bak",
2. Get rid of the "Feedback" module if you have one,
3. In "Adminsiter"->"Modules" uncheck: a) blogapi b) drupal c) ping
4. In "Administer" -> "settings" put a) "Auto-throttle on anonymous users" = 10 b) "Auto-throttle on authenticated users" = 20 c) "Auto-throttle probability limiter:" = 5%
Then let us know if it is better.
