Grievous Angel
Beast of Burden
My blog has exceeded its bandwidth. Normally this is because of people playing mixes from the browser but I don't think that's happening right now because they're all zipped, and anyway, there don't seem to be masses of downloads.
However, I looked at the logs and AFAICT old blog posts are getting thousands and thousands of spam comments.
When I ask CPanel for the raw logs for November, I get a NET file (no idea what this is) and when I open this in Word, which takes a while cos it's huge, all I see is entries like this:
193.251.147.242 - - [23/Nov/2005:04:13:54 -0800] "POST /wp-trackback.php/133 HTTP/1.0" 500 - "http://blog.grievousangel.net/wp-trackback.php/133"
The log file is hundreds of pages long -- 469 at last count, it keeps going up.
Correction: the log file is nearly 11,000 pages long!!!
Could a vast volume of spam comments in old posts max out my bandwidth? I pay for 10gig a month.
And is there an easy way to disable comments in all my old posts globally in Wordpress? Sadly I have an oldish version...
Aaaaaargh!
