I just looked into that, and it seems that there's something bad going
on with some machine at BYU which started yesterday. (Ping: Jay.)
The offending traffic comes from fltr5.byu.edu, at a very high rate.
The new log file for the week had started at 2013-09-22 03:40 local
time (about 12.5 hours ago) with 92000 queries for this period, and
85% of this traffic (about 78k, about a 100 hits per second) is coming
from this BYU IP. Looking back, it seems that it's something recent
that had started just yesterday, so whatever it is, it's new. Most of
the traffic is basically a repeating loop of these 8 lines, shown below.
(I will restart the server now, in an attempt to get whatever it is
that causes this mess to crash.)

I don't think that the planet server itself doesn't keep enough
information to say much about this, but the requests come via apache
so there might be more information in a log file at that level that
Eli might be able to tell us about.
I do see lots of requests coming in for packages, tho. In addition
to yours, dracula.plt fasttest.plt, drocaml.plt, and xmlrpc.plt seem
to be being continuously asked for.

Sorry if I am rising a false alarm. I noticed that there is a massive
download of my package
called bystroTeX : http://planet.racket-lang.org/display.ss?package=
bystroTeX.pltowner=amkhlv
All the downloads are of the (old) version 1.6
What is going on?
Is it possible to figure out who downloads it?
