Uh, that varies a bit, and I won't have good data again until everything has been stable for a week or so. (With HelioHost we also had outages once a month or so, which skewed things)

But for WS2, in the last 24 hours, we’re at 380GB of bandwidth, of which 270Gb was cached (CDN already had the file) and 100Gb was uncached. There’s some long term changes to improve the caching, especially turning each 1x1 dir into a TXZ.

The cost of the CDN is abut $30/month, which is why ad-hoc servers don’t make a lot of sense : if ten people contribute the price of a coffee per month, that would double our headroom, with no additional load on any server we own / run / maintain. (And it’s giving better service to users in Oceania / Africa / South America / Middle East / Asia …. basically everywhere …) for that money.

Kind regards,
James
