Curiously, Webalizer reports that people are retrieving 400-600 GB per
month from my simple home server. The traffic is legitimate, but I
wonder whether Webalizer is counting partial downloads as complete
downloads. I know the number is at least in the ballpark, since
'ifconfig' reports it has transmitted 276 GB in the past 22 days, but
that also includes a lot of LAN traffic.
I guess I'd be a horrible customer for UTOPIA. ;-)
