Weird... I think it's more of a bug or something, as my hosting site couldn't even handle that many downloads. Either that or some joker decided to make a script that selected each download 5000 times. I'd be clueless as to what the point of that is...

There might be something worth downloading.

Denial of service to anyone else? Dunno! Makes no sense to me either.

Roch222, it's a bug, otherwise our sites bandwidth would be throught the roof. BTW, you're #96 in the top contributors...:)

If that was an attempt to deny service on freebies, they would need to try harder. (Not that I'd really want them to.) 'Osity servers apparently handles more than that just with normal use. Or at least it would seem so. I didn't notice a slowdown... Anyone else?
