Been trying to track down a 20 second 400mb spike in outbound traffic that has been happening every 10 minutes all day. Finally tracked it down to my Speedtest.net server. Someone automated pulling the test files via HTTP. It shows up in my server logs, but not in the speedtest.net reports.

They simultaneously pull 8 copies of all 10 test .jpg files.

I've blocked their IP Address, automating it like that just seems a little rude.

Just wanted to give anyone else running a speedtest.net server a heads up.
