Is there a bandwidth limit for Google Sites

Is there a bandwidth limit for Google Sites

Latest Update: Google is aware of the problem and currently fixing it http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/sites/thread?tid=22b37829037bef0e&hl=en

I was about to update my Google Sites page at http://sites.google.com when I see this error


Image via CrunchBaseIn Google Sites help area, the only limit that is published seems to be the total Google Sites storage limit of 100MB.



A little bit of digging shows this help article http://www.google.com/support/sites/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=115255, quoting it verbatim:

If you receive the error message "Bandwidth limited exceeded" it means that your site has drawn a lot of traffic, exceeding the limit that we allow for Sites.

Currently we are not sharing the bandwidth limits for Sites

Once the web traffic to the site in question has lessened enough to bring it below our limits, the notice will vanish and your site will once again be viewable.

 I am hazarding a guess that Google uses the App Engines free quota, with a 1GB/daily and 56 MB/minute limit. Google should do a better job of publishing this information though.


Whats odd is when I go to the Google Sites Contact Support page, there is no option to actually submit a request to Google.
