Just curious. What is the reasoning for turning off the feedback module? Is it to reduce form spam?
Thanks, Mark

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
- In your web server goto the Drupal root dir (sometimes /public_html)
and delete "xmlrpc.php", or rename it to "xmlrpc.bak",
Get rid of the "Feedback" module if you have one,
In "Adminsiter"->"Modules" uncheck:
a) blogapi b) drupal c) ping
- 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.
