Maybe a guess, but an educated one (from running websites myself): the current number of robots that grab everything on the web without consideration at a completely mind-boggling rate, and getting things over and over again. This accounts for a large fraction of any website's traffic -- and is utterly useless, similar to 99% of all email being spam. Jeroen. On 2013-02-11 03:31, don kretz wrote: > I'm puzzled.
