How long would it take to burn about 960GIG of bandwith
how many hits a day on a tgp gallery would it take to burn up to that much and also people watching movie clips

with movies on 2 paysite does bandwith burn fast
there is no way to answer this question without knowing how many members you have, what size the average movie is and perhaps how often you update.
my personal experience is that the average paysite member burns between 50 cents and $2 of bandwidth per month.
it's not the paysite members that burn the bandwidth - it's the tour.
k but with all your site how much bandwith do you burn i'am sure you have more members then me
I use 400-500 gigs a month, but I use allot of free hosts
my new paysite is just that - new. i do have more videos, but i haven't maxed out my 3 mbps yet.
when we were running jackoffguys and greatbigdicks, we never used more than that on the paysites themselves although we did use a fair amount on the galleries.
big programs can use over 1000 gigs per day, small paysites whose owners i know use less than 10 gigs per day. you're probably safe on 3 mbps unless you decide to start offering free hosted movie galleries - then keep your eye on your bandwidth useage.
ok thanx i should be safe if not then i get 5mpbs 1600 GB then for sure there is no way i can burn all that
How much do you guys pay for bandwidth and what service do you get it from? .38 a gig exmasters.com
It depends on how much content you are hosting yourself and how many members you have. But as a very general guideline, a paysite with a half decent amount of content and about 200 members will likely burn through 1000G in a month.

i've never worked with a paysite that went through 1000 gig on only 200 members. is that also counting fhg's or stuff like that outside the member area - or a tour with trailers?
basschick, it includes a good amount of video download content, not just a bunch of plugins.

so is it safe to assume that a new pay-site with about 20vids at 80MB each and 6MB of photos per vid, would be ok with a 10 MBPS Unmetered plan? The tour would only contain mid to small sized images of the 20 vids (at about 10kb each) with no actual vids in the preview.
How many members would you say you could have with this plan before you'd need to upgrade to a larger plan?

so from your calculations, how many members would a site like that (with 768k vids etc) need to have to run through 1000GB of bandwidth a month?
are you talking members area only or are you including the tour?
how often would the site update, how long in duration is each video on average, will the videos be shown in more than one speed?
a surprising number of people in our sites didn't watch the 768 videos but instead watched small or mediums. also in the case of clips, i noticed a lot of people watched only the first and last clip.
figure each member watches 5 full videos on his first visit, 2 more on his next - then if you don't update, he quits. if you DO update, he'll watch the update. if you update regularly, many of your members will watch every update.
we had clips and a lot of people didn't watch the full videos. We'd see them watch maybe 2 clips from each of 5 videos, so cutting the movies into clips helped bandwidth consumption. offering the medium and smaller sizes of movies helped, too.
