when trying to access my site ( http://www.geocities.com/radders2003/dome.html ) It says "The web site you are trying to accesshas exceeded it's allocated Data Transfer, Access to this site will be restored within an hour, Please try again later".

Why does it say that?What does it mean?How can i prevent from this happenign every time i access the web site?

It just means that Geocities only allows a certain amount of data transfer in their allotted time so that all user of their service can get equal use. The only way round this is to find alternative webspace.

This isn't a big problem though. It happens time after time, and especially at the start, when you've released your level. People haven't heard any opinions of your level yet, so they download to see something new. It was the same with my level(i put it on geocities too, ya' know) and it was quite busy at the start, but now it has become quite, (propably ppl ain't donwloadin' and playin the level anymore )
so I think this could occure to you too. But if your level's really good, people will download it all the time, and thats when you have to search for an alternative

Would this work: I create 5 yahoo ids, One for each of my 4 files and the other id would be my web site, Where i build a simple page and put the links on for the 4 files.

would that work?

I guess, but I said it'll be back to normal in a few hours, so I think you can spare the trouble, you could even start building a new level with the tim you'll waste on that
