You can see from the spike in bandwidth on the graph above that when I
lifted the throttle for the Detritus archives, as announced in the
previous entry, bandwidth usage went up by a factor of 4. And it
swamped out the server by 2pm pacific time (about 2 hours ago).  The
current theory:  there's a lot of people who still think certain
plunderphonics files are by James Brown, Beatles, and Michael Jackson.
And in a way they are, but... I don't think these are what they want.  

Or... someone saw the announcement and posted it to a popular place
that I can't locate yet.  It seems like a lot of browsers don't send
referrer headers anymore, so it's much harder to figure out where hits
are coming from.  blargh.

Anyway, you may  not get the smooth downloading that was promised,
we're still struggling with a nice configuration. thanx for your
patience.
