This site is experiencing the worst bandwidth crisis after move to iPowerWeb. Today, as the 23rd day of Oct, I always used up 92% of the 40G bandwidth. With the current speed, the bandwidth will be used up around Oct 25, 2004. I don't know what will happen after that time. Maybe iPowerweb will give me some allowrance to transfer more or you will see "Server Bandwidth Used up Sign". So be prepared to see the five days absent. page. If it is the case, the site will resume after November 1, 2004.

Save Every Bytes

To save every bytes on this server, I have temporily closed the /photo/ section of this site and redirected all the image requests to another site using the .htaccess mod_rewrite. Here is the code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (archives/200[123]/.*\.jpg) http://blog.wangjianshuo.com/$1 [R]
RewriteRule (photo/.*) http://blog.wangjianshuo.com/$1 [R]

I don't want to ask my reader to visit less frequent to save bandwidth. I just want to announce it first so everybody knows what happens if the bandwidth does be used up.

Next Steps

Since Cool URLs Never Change,, I will try to move the big files (like images) to another server while keeping all the URLs unchanged. The server allows me to do that.
