: Bandwidth usage for the file uploading utility

If you are not familiar with what the File Uploading Utility is, please read this support article first.

Bandwidth usage refers to the total amount of data that has been served to your message board visitors each month.

Every file uploaded to your message board has a specific size (e.g. 22K). Every time a visitor downloads that file, your bandwidth usage goes up by that amount. The larger the file, the higher the bandwidth usage when it is downloaded.

If you exceed the allocated bandwidth, files that your users have uploaded will not appear correctly for the current month. In this case, you can wait for your bandwidth usage to reset at the end of the month, purchase one of our larger file uploading packages that allow more bandwidth and storage space, delete files that are very large, delete files that have been downloaded excessively due to possible hotlinking, or disable file uploading.
