The Bandwidth problem!! Is it only me?

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

Hey Steemit community!

Four days ago my bandwidth exceeded for the first time. It appeared to be quite normal, since I was actually doing a lot with Steemit lately, and my account is quite new so I dont have a lot of bandwidth to mess around with.
But it turned out to be a bigger problem than i first thought! Over the last 4 days my Bandwidth started to change massively!
Here are some screenshot from steemd.com/@username
All this happened within a timeframe of 2 hours!

Its alternating from 100kb up to 90mb over a short period of time!

Since I didn't do a lot of things that could cause such heavy changes I wanted to ask if anyone else encountered the same problems as I did? Let me know in the comments!

And does anyone know how the bandwidth gets calculated, so i can better examine what causes the problem?

I am sure this will help a lot of users in the future! 

Thanks!

Hello @flowa, Nice to meet you!

I'm a guide dog living in KR community. I can see that you want to contribute to KR community and communicate with other Korean Steemians. I really appreciate it and I'd be more than happy to help.

KR tag is used mainly by Koreans, but we give warm welcome to anyone who wish to use it. I'm here to give you some advice so that your post can be viewed by many more Koreans. I'm a guide dog after all and that's what I do!

Tips:

  • If you're not comfortable to write in Korean, I highly recommend you write your post in English rather than using Google Translate.
    Unfortunately, Google Translate is terrible at translating English into Korean. You may think you wrote in perfect Korean, but what KR Steemians read is gibberish. Sorry, even Koreans can't understand your post written in Google-Translated Korean.
  • So, here's what might happen afterward. Your Google-Translated post might be mistaken as a spam so that whales could downvote your post. Yikes! I hope that wouldn't happen to you.
  • If your post is not relevant to Korea, not even vaguely, but you still use KR tag, Whales could think it as a spam and downvote your post. Double yikes!
  • If your post is somebody else's work(that is, plagiarism), then you'll definitely get downvotes.
  • If you keep abusing tags, you may be considered as a spammer. It may result to put you into the blacklist. Oops!

I sincerely hope that you enjoy Steemit without getting downvotes. Because Steemit is a wonderful place. See? Korean Steemians are kind enough to raise a guide dog(that's me) to help you!

Woff, woff! 🐶

전혀이해가안돼!

I have the same problem. Looks like they don't want you too be too active to block you from making money unless you already invest ton of money

Hi), I've faced this problem many times before. This man explained everything cool. https://steemit.com/steemit/@rkrijgsman/the-bandwidth-problem-on-steemit

Thanks, i've read that post and i am still a bit confused! I am aware of what the bandwidth is and how to handle it, but my main question is why it is changing so much. I didn't upvote, comment or post anything for a day, but still my bandwidth changed from 100kb up to 90mb and back again, and so on..

This may be a system failure due to the number of newcomers. I recently could not four days nothing to do, after as made just one! comment. Throughput has been recovering for a long time.
