This relates to the second half of yesterday's post. I find it extremely unlikely that, overnight, 3700 more people decided they needed to download and listen to all of my podcasts. I don't know what's going on, but as both my podcast and individual mp3 numbers are all messed up, there's obviously something not right.

In the future, as I attempt to isolate the source of the problem, I may be temporarily disabling links, changing file hosts, and generally making inconvenient modifications to the site. I apologize to everyone who is a legitimate reader and/or listener. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to voice them in a comment or email to me.

Hopefully this issue will be resolved expediently. For the moment, all of the aforementioned precautions/traps and monitoring is necessary, because 1) I keep running out of bandwidth, 2) my stats are messed up (and I really love stats), 3) I am both incredibly curious and incredibly annoyed -- but mostly because 4) I really do not want KPSU's server to go down because some jerk is effing things around, here.

I would issue a plea to whoever is doing this to stop, but from the scope of things, I no longer believe that it is possible for one person to have done this manually. However, if this is you, and you have decided, for whatever reason, to open a vendetta with me by compromising the functionality of this blog, please know that I consider your actions entirely inappropriate and would much rather be confronted head on. I will meet you in person to address your grievances, or, if this is somehow not possible for you, I refer you again to my email.

For the rest of us: I will continue updating this blog, but probably will not be putting up any mp3s for a while. Nor will you see any new podcast links. You can still download the podcasts (new and old) through my page in the KPSU archives; it just won't be as direct. Again, I apologize for the inconvenience, and hope to have everything back to normal as soon as possible.
