(...) Tsk, this is rediculous. What is the maximum amount of space? 15 Mb, I think. That means that if I used all space - which I don't - the entire content has to be downloaded 200 times for the max traffic to be exceeded. No way it is the case. (...) (23 years ago, 26-Mar-02, to lugnet.general)

(...) Unfortunately, the idiotic way the people at Geocities do it (AFAIK), is that they determine how much bandwidth PER HOUR you are allowed to use, based on how much you are given per month. So if you have one bad hour, despite having previous (...) (23 years ago, 26-Mar-02, to lugnet.general)

(...) Per day updates would be a LOT better than on a hourly basis. The one thing I don't understand I why they have to shut down the site after many slow hours, in spite of one fast hour. What's up with that, anyway? Maybe It's all just a scam to (...) (23 years ago, 26-Mar-02, to lugnet.general)

(...) It's just a Yahoo! plow! Whatever you do don't bother paying for the extra service. Screw them! You can set up a mirror site at www.tripod.com to help offset your "this site is out...". I've had this problem before with yahoo and finally just (...) (23 years ago, 27-Mar-02, to lugnet.general)

When I see a geocities or tripod site advertised on Lugnet, I usually don't bother visiting it at all, unless the description is extremely enticing. I especially hate tripod - at least the (...)

[snip] (...) Actually you would be better off going to FortuneCity. You get 100MB of space and there are no annoying pop-up ads. There is an small banner inserted at the top of all your pages but it is no big deal compared to pop-ups. For an example (...) (23 years ago, 28-Mar-02, to lugnet.general)

(...) You need to pay attention to the bandwidth allowance. Webspace is nice, but it's not as important as the traffic capacity, especially if your webhost will temporarily shut your site down or require extra fees if you exceed your allowance. If (...)
