On April 28th, I ran a job to check the link validity of our list of 12,000 directories (see our home page).   I was surprised at the number of directories  that were not live because “Bandwidth Limit Exceeded”.   Why?  We are only talking about a couple of dozen, but it is still higher than usual.

I know from experience that there is sometimes a fair reason for  exceeding bandwidth.  Sometimes it is a once in a blue moon situation that does not warrant the purchase of extra bandwidth.  Are directories getting that much traffic? I don’t think so?

I would be interested in any ideas that you may have.
