Hello,
I am but a simple web host, and know nothing to speak of regarding to flash.
I have a customer, however, who inexplicably is consuming vast amounts of bandwidth, to the tune of almost 60GB since 7-1
He has virtually no visitors to his site, he shows virtually no FTP or HTTP traffic, he swears he is not spamming (that would be an aweful lot of spam)
We've stripped evreything out of his website except for one or two basic html pages and he's still bleeding bandwidth.
I noticed in his home page, he has the following code:
<object classid="clsid
27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase=" width="450" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="Flash/4.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed src="Flash/4.swf" quality="high" pluginspage=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="450" height="400"></embed></object>
<br>
</p>
<table width="50%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td><object classid="clsid
27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase=" width="500" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="Jukebox/jukematrix.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed src="Jukebox/jukematrix.swf" quality="high" pluginspage=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="500" height="400"></embed></object>
The .swf files in his site are several MB's each. Which if he had a ton of traffic, could eventually add up, but I'm wondering... if he (or someone) simply has this guys home page loaded and left on for an extended time, does it continue to draw bandwidth to run this video, or does it cache to the users local machine?
Thx in advance, as I am running out of ideas on this one!
