So did I. But webalizer says around 13GB of traffic from 360,000 hits, and 0 (zero) visits.
More stats I have picked up: 1. 97% of file requests are JPEGs 2. There are 3 images, all realated to a listing in the system, that have been hit evenly around 48,000 times and equate to a total of around 4GB each. 3. These three images account for 95% of all traffic. So I guess that's the culprit there. Something hitting those images over and over again. But they aren't the sort of images anyone would want to hotlink. And neither IP resolves to a website. I have blocked the IPs for now, and sent an email to Xtra's abuse team to see what they say. ----- Original Message ----- From: Stu Meads To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, February 05, 2010 2:51 PM Subject: Re: [phpug] [OT] Xtra eating bandwidth That sounds weird, I always thought that webalizer stats were generated from the Apache logs On Fri, Feb 5, 2010 at 11:42 AM, Aaron Cooper <[email protected]> wrote: The interesting thing is that both IP's appear in Webalizer stats, but not in either FTP or Apache raw logs. ----- Original Message ----- From: gizmoguy To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, February 05, 2010 10:41 AM Subject: Re: [phpug] [OT] Xtra eating bandwidth On 5 February 2010 10:26, Aaron Cooper <[email protected]> wrote: Howdy, I was wondering if anyone else has strange log entries for these two IPs recently: 219.89.117.251 210.54.90.144 Not those IPs but we've had a lot of traffic from 146.171.254.96 which is another Telecom IP address which has done 256.33 MB of bandwidth so far this month from one of our webapps which is proportionally a lot of bandwidth for us. We identified the problem with this particular IP address using a lot of bandwidth due to a lack of gzip support, we suspect it is a coroprate/enterprise proxy/filtering server that ignores gzip to make it less CPU heavy when it comes to filtering which results in us sending out the uncompressed version of all our pages and JS/CSS which turns out to be quite a lot. Haven't attempted to make contact with them yet but if you report back with your dealings with Telecom and we may also get in contact with them.
