One such VMod, and I've looked at this, it is free and open source, is the VMod throttle.

Now that means that we need to start keeping track of IPs and it will use a bit more memory.

That's okay, we have more memory.

And then we can need to start basically applying limits to how many download specific IPs

can do and we can limit it to mp3 files only so if we have a bot or if we have for example like i don't know an rss aggregator or something like that we can we we're okay serving those requests because again that's what varnish is meant to do the problem here is that we're serving a lot of bytes for mp3s the same mp3 that cannot be real traffic

I don't think so.

It's just some configuration.

We just need to add more configuration.

And back to Jared's point, we're just chasing now new problems that we didn't even think we would have.

But we have what looks to me like an actor that's not very, I want to say this in a nice way, an unfriendly actor that is not very happy.

And they are very angrily downloading our MP3 over and over and over again.

thousands of times across thousands of IPs.

And this is not cool because ultimately we end up paying for this bandwidth that is not helping anyone, but that's one, it's not the only one.

So we have one more.

So you can see here, for example, um, this is the last, last seven days, we have seven terabytes that were transferred in the last seven days, seven terabytes.

Maybe that's more than that.

It needs to be more.

And it actually.

Geocode does not exist.

Okay.
