It was my fault for hosting those boost mobile commercials on my site, i know. But I'm still freaking pissed. My whole month's bandwidth allottment has been exhausted in less than a week because of people posting links to the wmv files on forums such as these:

Yet another lesson learned the hard way for me. Never host large files on your site, PERIOD.

edit: sorry for the language.

Bummer. I know how you feel.. Everyone seems to link to our celebrities pictures.. We had to throw up java script and other things to prevent it from happening. But the good thing is that we don't get shut down when we go over the limit.
