Not too shy to talk

This afternoon my web site experienced a rather extreme (when compared to normal levels) activity spike. On a site that usually looks longingly at the goal of 300 hits per day there was an activity spike of 965 hits in less than 15 minutes, all from the same IP address in Moscow, Idaho, USA. All of the hits involved my ?Walking the Bee Tree Trail? photo album. I am wondering what sort of problem could cause a user?s browser to repeatedly access the same information at a rate of more than a hit per second? I am not thinking of an inadvertent double-click here, because it lasted for more than 10 minutes. No wrist is THAT durable.

@AJS

We got into a tiny discussion of web site wierdness on the scribus mailing list the other day, so I mentioned it there, and one of the other particip[ants almost immediately replied, saying ?I hate spammers!?

Kind of makes me feel good that I quickly informed the ISP and my hosting company about it. So far, it hasn?t happened again.
