Adium Xtras and bandwidth?

Post by ajmas »

I imagine that the bandwidth usage on Adium Xtras must be huge. How do you guys manage to support the costs? Have you thought of adding (I hate to suggest this), some Google type adverts?

In March, 2006, adiumxtras.com had 112,393 unique visitors, for 1,629,609 visits and 169.37 gigabytes transferred. In the last 4 months, monthly usage has ranged from 160 to 200 gigabytes of transfer.

Network Redux generously donates both hosting and bandwidth for the site :)

And due to the fact that I completely own, the website, I'm told by Network Redux, has almost no load in comparison to similar sites, and wtfpwns everybody else. :D
