How can 1 ip use so much bw but still only have similar pages hits to others??

[DEViANCE]

Hi, today i notice one ip has used more bw in one day (or even half a day) then everyone else has in a week, yet it has a similar amount of hits to everyone else... how is this possible?

Should i ban the ip??

it could be like a ddos bot or a registration or spam bot some kinda bot

Maybe they ripped your forum/skin ?

1. If a ddos surely the hits would be huge and the site woiuld of been down.
2. no i checked the logs and is no sign of ANYTHING strange and that skin is only 700kb anyway? (evilddl.com i am talking about).

O ? Leave it but keep watching.

800kb? that seems like nothing, i have ips using 50mb,

[DEViANCE]

Yeah i guess so, they don't appear to be using it now... One thing i am thinking is i added an ajax chat script last night for a bit of fun, maybe somebody left it reloading all day but surely it would not use that much still?? But could explain why it has not counted extra page hits as the actual page don't reload as such.

Dude its 211MB not 800kb and in half a day... when not even all ips added together have used as much in previous week?? Check the shots again.

dude its prob a spider of some sort, its crawling ur site, doesnt view images, only code, thats why its less then the rest.

U can ban it, OR try to figure out where its from, maybe google it?

[DEViANCE]

its not a spider, if it was it would show up as one and add hits.

Its some normal isp from france.

i miss read ur question sorry bro, ur right if it was it would have more pages, the logic of ur problem is some ajax script reloading since it wouldnt be a page load.
