But the fact that there's no way to know how much (if at all) you're annoying them takes so much of the fun out of it.

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<http://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<http://speedtest.net> server a heads up. Nate
