whats going on here
I regularily push about 250-500 gigs of music data through vocoderecords and the vocode project websites. I'd say we probably get an average of 300 downloads of new DJ mixes a month, and probably 500-700 downloads of unique music releases.
This month, out of the blue I have pushed 750 gigs of data. I went and did some digging, and one track in particular from vocoderecords.com went through the roof. Its either exteremely popular or someone is running a script.
The logs dont show any reference links from music sites, but the main link that ties all the traffic up is a series of letters and numbers - I cant did any deeper than that. Why would anyone do this to a small ass site like mine?
I do this for fun eh? so I really dont feel like having to shut down free music downloads because some asshat is having fun.
fuck
If you wanted to send me the details I can try and track it down for you...?
here is where all the traffic comes from - no other ID info
\x06\x87GG\x03\xa2\xf2\xf3
It looks like a log entry that is a conversion from non-western language set (i.e asian etc) so it might be worth looking at your log geographical info and seeing if you can match that.
Chap here suffered something similar:
