CYCho Posted Friday at 09:16 AM Posted Friday at 09:16 AM (edited) Hi everyone, I’ve noticed something unusual with my zPlayer files I uploaded in the Downloads section of this forum. Normally, it used to get 1–10 downloads per day, but starting November 11 afternoon, the numbers skyrocketed — over 200 downloads on each of November 12 and 13, and still maintaining that surge. I’m curious if anyone knows what might have triggered this surge. Was it mentioned somewhere, linked in a tutorial, or picked up by a bot? If you’ve seen anything similar or have any ideas, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Thanks in advance! C Y Cho Edited Friday at 09:22 AM by CYCho zPlayer - A Small Audio and Video Player
Solution Nine Posted Friday at 12:27 PM Solution Posted Friday at 12:27 PM It was mentioned here how AI bots are intensively hitting the site. I suppose they also grab all the codes they can take...

CYCho Posted yesterday at 03:15 AM Author Posted yesterday at 03:15 AM The bot activity seemingly stopped after about 700 downloads. I'm curious why a bot would need 700 copies. If multiple bots were involved, how could they have coordinated such a precise schedule? zPlayer - A Small Audio and Video Player

All this is painfully stupid. More bandwidth than brains. Idea: we should offer torrents ( in a throttle ). With a bit of luck they can feed each other the files 🤪 CYCho 1 Follow the link to my code contribution ( and other things too ). FAQ - Please Read Before Posting.
