Monitoring transfer-usage

The Transfer Usage Stats page can tell you which files are most accessed from your blog, how often they were viewed, and their transfer amount in KB (kilobytes). Monitoring this information can help you remain within your monthly transfer-usage allotment.

Your blog will be put on hold once you reach your monthly transfer-usage limit has been exceeded. If your blog is put on hold, you can:

do nothing and your blog will be re-enabled at the start of the next calendar month
add more bandwidth to your account permanently by upgrading your account to a plan with more transfer capacity
add Temporary Bandwidth which will be available to your blog only for the current month

See How to Add More Bandwidth to your Blog to learn more about your upgrade options, and be sure to read How to Manage your Bandwidth to learn how to more effectively manage the amount of bandwidth your weblog uses.
