I seem to have a problem with my downloads count being too high tonight. Here's the picture:



Is anyone else having this issue?

Is it a single-file download, or do you have extra files across comments etc?

I think I may have had the same thing, although not on that scale. My cathedral averages between 0 and 1 downloads per day, but in July I got about 60 in the beginning of the month, and again on the 25th. (And I'm still weird. After I got my first 10 downloads, and 10 out of 10 elves had downloaded it, I decided that I wasn't likely to get any statistic that was more interesting than that one. So I stopped really watching it. )

I am Ghost. My husband (who made the account because I was too shy) is sidneydoj. I post, he downloads, and I wanted to keep my post count.

I have no idea why this happens. The logs don't really show anything weird going on, just normal downloads, so my only theory right now is download managers, but that wouldn't explain the huge increases for a single day.

Sometimes it's a single file, other times it's two links, but not several files at a time. There aren't any spambots/or glitches happening, right? For me, it's from my Monopoly Town neighborhood, sometimes 1 out of the 7 files is being downloaded in the thousands, yet the other parts aren't being downloaded at all.

I checked the logs and I'm seeing a ton of requests from a specific browser/ip range, so my guess is some kind of bot or script just hit that particular URL a ton of times.

What I'll do is to investigate some kind of rate limiting of very large amounts of requests in a specific amount of time, which should hopefully cut down on these kind of things.

On the 24th of July it says I have 100 views but 152 downloads. Which wouldn't be possible. I was hoping it might fix itself, but it still shows that.

It is possible if one of your downloads has more than one file attached, which one does.

I will choose a path that's clear- I will choose free will
