Syndic8 Bandwidth

In one month, Syndic8 pulled in 139 GB of data and gave out 213 GB, for a total transfer of 353 GB. Fortunately, my hosting plan at Bocacom includes 500 GB of transfer per month.

I do need to start using things like ETags and If-Modified-Since headers to reduce the inbound bandwidth a bit. Here‘s some info on the right way to do this, and some more here.
