Thread: The monthly allowed bandwidth for this website...

When trying to access to MR I sometimes get redirected to this message:

http://lweb01.edpnet.net/503.htm
The monthly allowed bandwidth for this website has been exceeded.
All further requests will be blocked until the end of the month, or when the owner of the website decides to purchase extra traffic.

After some time I can browse the forum again. Does anyone have the same experience?

Yes, I just had it.

And what does it mean?

I think something got messed up in the connection...

I do get this as well, but I usually wait a couple of min and everything is fine. I think the issue is on the Webhost side and not really a bandwidth issue.

Does it happen on .com or .net site?

Yes, I had it too (some months ago). On the .net site. And like Toby said very soon after it was OK again, I even thought it was because I clicked an ad by accident.

To me it is always on the .net side.

Since being on these forums the last several months I have had it about 6 or so times. But it clears up pretty quickly. Just wait a few minutes then I can get in. Thats why I dont believe it is really a bandwidth issue(exceeding your bandwidth) but it could be that too many folks are trying to get to the forums at the same time, therfore bottle necking the connection to the webhost.
Just a thought.

It could be so but the error message should be different. It may be that an incorrect error message template was used.

I used to have it all the time, but the last 6 months have been good for me!

Also, I have had the notice several times. I don't remember whether .net or .com.

The last notice... perhaps 1 month ago.

I have that d@mn notice almost everytime I come here. But usually from the second or third attempt it disapears. And yes, it's always on the .net site.

Я почему-то этого никогда не видела. Наверное, потому что захожу сюда почти каждый день. :P

I have never seen this notice. Never.

Я никогда не видел эту ошибку. Так что она не существует.

Hey man! I really like your reasoning! It's great! Yeah, it's absolutely great!

The error used to come up in the past but it seems as if it is becoming increasingly extinct :P
