There's an app that checks bandwidth usage and it isn't the most robust. When we switched to the new server, the update hadn't been run on the current bandwidth log since last month. That screwed up the stats for last month, sorry.
The cron files are working now on the new server, so it's fixed, but it could have caused some bandwidth issues in the current month. I deleted the locks and your Gallery looks fine now. But I noticed that most of the images in your system point to files on geocities which doesn't exist anymore.

geocities is gone, yahoo decided to pull the plug on that "promise of the internets" a couple of weeks ago. I had a geocities page whilst in college, that will not be missed as the insane images and rambles I had on there are now gone for good :) (or so they say, all lookout of I suddenly disappear)
something about 15 years ago which makes you think back and say "what the hell was I thinking" :)
Any particular compression?
The problem is that it's all RAID storage so it's secure, but you need extra drives that don't count and the drives we have, (SCSI) are expensive. After the migration, we've got 132G free on the new server and 541G on the main server. The db server is the problem eventually as it's only got 33G free and also serves as a backup for the other servers. That backup also goes to an offsite drive, etc. The db server is also now the oldest and should be replaced in the next year or so, which would allow us to use ut as a slave db server which would be great and solve alot of db backup issues.BTW: RAID with hot swap is cool. I have a box of drives for the servers. Recently, the db server had a failure and I didn't have a replacement drive. I bought 3 new ones and it hung in there for the few days to get a new drive. Now, we're got spares. Just pull out the bad drive and away you go.

both how huge that is by any standards applicable to the past, and how small it is now with cheap terabyte hard drives on sale for under $100.
We do run backups to cheap drives and rotate them offsite, but our servers are a couple years old or older and use SCSI hot swappable RAID arrays. You didn't have the performance on cheap drives at that time. Now the SCSI are becoming obsolete and drives are cheaper if you can find NOS drives. I just got some 73G, 10K U320 drives for $115.
However, even with cheaper driver, rack mount server with ECC memory and RAID arrays aren't alot cheaper though they'll have twice the memory and twice the storage. We need to replace the db server beofr elong and that's a $4K cost if you buy smart from from Dell.

I know the cheap drives are not suitable for any type of business use- those are sold for occasional home backups, keeping music and pics on, and stuff like that. Just dime store philosophizin'... of course, the dime store's gone the way of the 512kb hard drive!
