My gallery has only 18mb of content, but easily generates about 5GB traffic per day. This is quite costy, so I've done a small "research" who this happen. I found out that most people usually turn on slideshow, and often not looking at screen at all, and consuming my bandwidth with ease. Can I turn off slideshow feature?
There is not a simple on/off button for this so you have to do a little work yourself.
Got to the theme.php file your using,
serach for $template_img_navbar
and remove or disable (in clasic theme its around row 506) the following
<td align="center" valign="middle" class="navmenu" width="48">
<a href="{ SHOW_TGT}" title="{SLIDESHOW_TITLE}"><img src="images/slideshow.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" align="absmiddle" alt="{SLIDESHOW_TITLE}" /></a>
</td>
Big thanks!
It worked :)
