Gosh - what does this consume re data transfer?

data transfer? not much...for last month..I used up approx 50MB on a server that hosted this script...

really? Just 50MB? I would think it would be a lot more than that, given that you have to download queries from Yahoo and DMOZ over and over and over. Going 24 hours a day, 7 days a week I would have assumed it would have done a lot more damage.

hmm, interesting.

Actually, that's a bad assumption on my part that you had it run 24/7.

To get that figure of 50MB traffic used last month running that script - how many days/hours did that run and how many domains did it find?

-WC-

the script didnt run 24/7, it runs for about 7-8 hours (approx time it take to complete)..and it finds about 10 (average) new names a day... the complete cycle of the script checks 43000 names...

hhmm..wait a sec...im using CPANEL..and on the info table..it says that i use 29MB...but in the log file..it says 27MB a day...

see attachment...im confused....explain to me what that means

Although it might not use alot of bandwidth... when users run scripts like this the load average usually jumps.

Could always grab one of those fdc boxes and throw it on there....
