Holy Bandwidth Usage Batman

I just recieved notice that my bandwidth for the month was just about used up, which was a complete surprise since I usually only use about 5% of my bandwidth.  Apparently a lot of sites have been linking to two gif files I’ve been hosting, one of the kool-aid man busting down a wall and one of chuck norris doing what chuck does best.  These two files, with a combined file size of 3.7 mb, accounted for 95% of the 15 gigabytes of the traffic I’ve gotten this month.  I normally don’t have a problem with people streaming pictures and movies from my site, but once my bandwidth is almost full I have to put a stop to it.  These two files, along with a number of other gif files, have since been removed from my site, which will hopefully let me continue to the end of the month without going over my bandwidth limit.  I will put them up again next month, but if my bandwidth gets completely eaten again, then I’ll be forced to take them down permanently, which is something I really don’t want to do.
