Uno Problem - Please help

[688206002]

Well, I installed the adserver script (phpadsnew) yesterday and set up two TEXT ads for testing purposes... before I logged off, my bandwidth usage was ~5MB

This morning... approximately 12 hours after I set up the adserver running 2 TEXT ads... 16MB of bandwidth usage (11MB jump in 12 hours with 2 TEXT ads?)

So it was still 16 before I went for lunch... back form lunch... now it's ~20MB...

Please help!!!!!!!!! (I don't wanna take the adserver down)

I have no idea why this could be. I guess it could be an error, or the ad thing is really screwing you over.

LOL! when I first read this I thought the topic was going to be about you having a problem with the game uno...I love that game...anyways, to me it looks like you have to take the adserver down :(

well... I'm desperately editing the settings right now to see if I can cut down on the bandwidth usage... I went to phpadsnew's forum and found that I'm not the only one having probs with the bandwidth... this other guy had 6GB of bandwidth sucked out of him from th adserver alone in a month! arrrg

I advise that you use another ad service.

Here is a list of a few. You can search for the best. Lol.

I know from working with mysite the bandwidth updates is a little behind. I think it only updates the stats at specific times so it can jump at times. I could be wrong but that could be the mix up

well, for people who are interested in running the ad server (phpadsnew), i figured out the prob...

disable SQL banner storage

this saves A LOT of bandwidth

I was about to mention the PHP->MySQL->PHP connections would chew bandwidth up at an incredible rate... Its not something you'd really want to run on a server (phpadnews), as aforementioned, I'd use another script :)
