Download Spammed

As you may or may not know, we recently started mirroring several site downloads such as www.autopatcher.com since we are hosting www.uzzisoft.net on another webhost (Dreamhost) and we are allowed 1 TB in bandwidth transfer.

There were some unusually large requests by a few IP address which ended up taking 285.57 gigabytes on the 12th, 73.27 gigabytes on the 13th and 223.93 gigabytes on the 14th. After that I had enough and decided to remove the entire mirrors directory to get rid of these ‘download abusers’.

Right now UzziSoft.net has done 870 GB out of 1024 GB. I’ve re-enabled the mirrors directory but only allowing the autopatcher folder to be accessed and only files under 30 MB can be downloaded. I might think about re-adding the other files next month.
