galleries are very bandwidth intensive and i've seen programs go under because of their fhg bandwidth.
I remember the day when a gallery on the Hun would cost you $100 in bandwith.

If programs go under because of bandwith, then one of two things has happened.

1. They are paying way too much for their bandwith.

2. Their sites just don't convert on the galleries that they themselves created. If they tested it extensively beforehand, they probably wouldnt have that problem... I mean how hard is it for a program owner to create the galleries and buy the absolute shittiest traffic possible and throw at them and see what happens before they release the galleries to all their affiliates.
