I hope everything is ok for @dustinc , he used to be much more active previously...
Hmm, my prediction that we would reach 2.5M views on Friday is still on track...
Everyone is 😶, and I've been doing some IRL stuff haha
Well then by the end of event, it might even get to 3m or beyond
I would hope so
Maybe they're just taking a break from this weekend haha
He’s active but with the countless number of bandwidth doubling.
Out of his 2,670 comments, 801 of them contain both words "double" and "bandwidth", so this means that he has given out at least 1 PB of bandwidth assuming 800 requests and an average of 1.25TB bandwidth per request. That's a lot of bandwidth!
Thanks
And CTRL + R, too.
Indeed
Good afternoon then.
And, well, all the other keys 😆 You can use this keyboard for spamming #'s!!
Master of numbers.
How many of them could use all of the bandwidth?
I will ask for double once I submit the assignments, I will not use the bandwidth, or even the sever, but I will ask for it.
Oh, yes, it's a perfect tool for spamming.
Yeah, I wonder how many people actually utilize the extra bandwidth haha
I haven't even gotten to 10% of my BW limit!
Psttt... I don't know if you are also using the json for your stats page, but... I have a feeling, that json view is also counting to the total views. That would mean... we could run an infinite loop on all idling servers and could quickly increase the view count
I've been using json for the stats page, I would assume it counts towards the total view count? Since the view count is going up at a consistent rate, and most of the scrapers that are contributing these views probably don't actually fetch HTML and parse it, just the json.
DDos attacked underway.
How much bandwidth does LET have?
Wow impressive stats
I don't know, but must be a lot!
Yeah, I wonder about the exact numbers though, since I don't have enough information to figure that out.
But we have more. December is coming, we can take this change to estimate LET's bandwidth.
Anyway it’s pretty easy to manipulate the view count if someone really wants to.
Yeah, its really hard to use up the bandwidth... The VM I won and now hosts the stats page has used 20.5 GB of 2.9 TB during the last 8 days (I am already impressed, that so much traffic is going there). GZIP is enabled, I know that the chart is almost 3MB already, but gzipped its only 217kB... One page load is only 18kB from the server, all other stuff is from external hosts (images, js, css)...
But manipulation can only be done one way
You can't reduce the counter 
If RN allowed torrents etc, that would’ve made sense especially for those from countries with strict censorship. I think most people ask for it because it’s free
They probably have either unmetered bandwidth or a TON of bandwidth, enough to practically be unreachable without some kind of sustained DDOS attack haha
My scraper and website has used 13.87GB over the past month, and that's including the other things I run on it!
And who doesn't like free stuff?
