Today I've made a look to Download Counter on CMSms Forge. I'm wondering about visible values. A module was more downloaded as the main application
.
Please look at attachment ...

14:30 heh strange one
14:30 That's... Interesting
14:30 Quite weird
14:30 seems nothing wrong with the xml
14:30 Good thing that we're not big enough that I have to pay for bandwidth overages
14:31 I'm sure nothing is wrong. It's just some idiot. It happens all the time.
14:31 The 2nd runner up is almost 5 gigs to a machine in India

Thanks Dee - is there no mechanism inside Forge to block such attacks (from same ip) ?
Statistics which are modified in such ways are very useless

It seems there's no such mechanism at the moment (obviously
)
Some kind of block/ban after a (really) large number of downloads in a short timespan does seem in place.
Ted bans them manually now, another small (follow-up) quote:
14:37 Hmm. China used 34.09 gigs yesterday. Another ip has done 12 today.
14:38 Same band of ips as the 34 yesterday
14:38 Think I might just shut them down.
14:39 Some people just like being idiots
14:40 Nice, last 3 ips I've banned were all the 61. space

D

Hello !
www.wesnoth.org heavy downloads are available via SourceForge. The project is hosted on another forge : GNA!. This separates software making from bandwidth management.
Hope this helps.
