I'd never heard of such a thing, until I was looking at my stats for my site last night/early this morning.

I get that it's some sort of online music/filesharing site...but y'all, in my site stats? Were these things, jumping out at me:

My Chemical Romance - Famous Last Words: 192 Error Hits
Enrique Iglesius - Do You Know What It Feels Like - 37 Error Hits
Cascade - Ready For Love - 16 Error Hits

Now, those songs were up there, in a storage folder I keep for transferring files. In this case, those were some songs Matthew had asked me to find for him (songs used for some of the song vids he's watched that he liked). They ended up getting left up there for a few days for any number of reasons, but anyway. I deleted them out a few days ago. And then find all these hits last night, and it makes me wonder...was it using MY bandwidth, when whoever was connecting to them, when they were up?

The storage folder being used had to be known to someone who reads this journal. Maybe a public post, from sharing music and whatnot, though usually I upload stuff I'm planning to share into a couple particular folders.

I don't want to have to stop sharing media uploads, or music, or whatever with y'all. But the idea of someone sharing stuff that I haven't even made public really makes me uneasy.

Thought? Comments? Suggestions? Thanks.

ETA: Also, through further checking of my site stats, I see that that those files were dl'd 40x, 5x and 3x respectively, while they were still up there. And I know I didn't share those with anyone; they were *just* for Matthew, because he wanted them. Argh, this is making me nuts!
