Title: bitcointalk.org image proxy: Bandwidth limit exceeded
Post by: LoyceV on October 22, 2019, 05:57:57 PM
Well, that's a first:
http://loyce.club/other/bandwidthlimitexceeded.gif

In case the image doesn't load, it says:
bitcointalk.org image proxy:
Bandwidth limit exceeded


Is this a local problem for my IP only, or did the 10 year art contest (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5193860.0) trigger a bandwidth limit for the webhost?

Update: I had a long day, I could of course easily check this through archive.is (https://archive.is/IdFCo): it's only for me :(
How long do I have to stay in the doghouse (https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=In%20The%20Doghouse)?

Can/should the bandwidth limit be increased? I was playing around with this (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5194870.msg52837436#msg52837436) a bit, but the "view All (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5193860.0;all)" button would have the same bandwidth usage.

I have the same problem. When the visual size is large it gives error.

I get the error on every image now.

Are you on Tor/VPN? Can you switch to another circuit?

No, I'm not, and I don't really want to use a VPN because of this.

I was just thinking that you might be getting the error because you're sharing an IP with someone who hogged all the bandwidth but it seems like your own fault :)

Can you get a new IP from your ISP? Reboot your router/phone/whatever you use to connect to the intertubes.

Yep :( Can't an AI (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4720640.msg52826758#msg52826758) consume some data?

I'm hoping for a solution from the forum-side. It might be a temporary blacklist, but I'm afraid I'll hit it again.

Yeah it would be nice if this limit could be increased at least for the next month or so - I would imagine quite a few users might hit it due to the some humongous images being posted in the art contest thread.

Hi,

I ran into this issue recently when I tried to upload a pic that was too large.

If you physically resized the image and re-uploaded it to your image server and try again, would that still return the same error?

thanks!

I had it on all images, not just very large ones.
But: it works again: theymos hasn't posted here, so I guess it's a few hour timeout to be removed from the blacklist again.

It only bans you for up to 4 hours.

ok, great, happy it timed out for you :)

Thanks, I can live with that :)
