*** YET ANOTHER COSTLY MISTAKE *** A HAPPY ENDING !!!!
An update to the previous thread about the over bandwidth limit charges.
I noticed that the hosting company had installed a new hosting panel last month and "reset" my bandwidth alert limits that they send you out by email when you are down to your last 1 GB of bandwidth or whatever.
I thought I would use this as the basis as to why I had gone over my bandwidth limit...and thought I would post my email up and their response in case it could be helpful to anyone else that might end up in a similar situation.
THANKS WEBCONEXION.NET FOR FOR BEING SO UNDERSTANDING.

Glad to hear this came to a happy ending. That was very nice of them to waive the fee!
Congrats!
Did you learn your lesson?

I think I was just very lucky this time indeed...I guess the really smart thing to do would have been not to post the file up in the first place.
Feel free to post the overlimit bandwidth charges letter up in response to anyone complaining that they have the "right" to download anything on JW for free..

Holy shit! Let's hope he won't send you a mail saying "April Fools", or some shit like that. I'm glad you're off the hook, J! That price was brutal!
