Well congratulations! As Jennifer Clark once told me, "Ah, the price of fame".
I've had many problems with this issue too. Back in August, I had to move my
site to a real web host that wouldn't shut my site down when the bandwidth
capacity was exceeded. After getting CLSOTW, I had one day with 1.3 GB of
traffic! It's calmed down quite a bit since then, and I think my daily
average is around 40 MB.
Good luck with your site. If you need any suggestions on good webhosts, just
ask in the lugnet.publish group. Also, do a search for webhost because this
has been discussed before.

p.s. I wonder if Dennis Bosman is having the same problems too? He has a lot
of pics and I'm sure his site receives a ton of traffic.
