After I reported on the 27th that Glenn Fleishman, co author of the book Real World Adobe GoLive 6, had received such an amazing reaction to the free release of the book than he expected, in fact the 23 MB was downloaded to the tune of 250 GB's worth before Fleishman took the file offline. Well, Level 3, his provider, happily informed him that his bandwidth use was right at the limit when they usually charge for overages, and his extreme excess usage would not be billed ot him, saving him from an expected $15,000 or more charge. Fleishman had collected around $1,700 in donation, which he has given, along with $250 of his own money, to Project Gutenberg, a free electronic library.
