I *think* if I had 2GB of high-quality memory this could be fixed in an hour. If I had known this was going to happen I would have bought it on Monday. I always think, well, the flood will be over before I actually get the hardware...

The other option is to move the database to server B, but it will take a three-hour downtime to do that. Maybe over the weekend.

We have had a number of really costly changes in the last six months and the tippers have been generous and have covered the cost. The current connection is quite expensive and tippers almost cover it. The B server, where the actual images are, has pushed out 180GB of traffic in the last 5 days!!!! It is batshit insane. But we would NOT have been able to manage it on any previous connection. If this happened at the last place it would have cost $thousands and I would have had to shut that thread down at the very least.
