Frank, I had a similar story last week. One of my galleries was listed on the Hun and I received an e-mail from my host, Dreamhost that an unusually large surge in ntraffic was causing their servers to crash.
It seems that they have 250 connections per machine to the net and my gallery was using them all. They applies a throttle limiting to 10 requests per sec.
Some also recommended putting the images on a separate subdomain eg) images.mydomain.com - seems like this would help the situation.
Question is , is Dreamhost up to Hun listings and secondly I am thinking of hosting images on a free host and hot linking. I am also looking at sponsor hosting for gallery listings?
Any comments/opinion on my options?
