Downloads will be down for a little while.

For those of you who have been paying attention, this is likely old news.
I don’t know why, I don’t know who, but something is eating my site’s bandwidth. Maybe Googlepages is just sucking as usual, or some prankster thinks it’s funny to download the same file over and over, or maybe some innocent newbie found something they liked and showed it to 200-or-so different friends…
In any case, nobody (including myself) can access the content on my site, so for the time being I’ve deleted everything – everything – excluding, obviously, the actual web pages themselves. Because I can track the hits those get, unlike the files, and I’m not receiving nearly enough traffic to warrant the Orange Screen of Death coming up every time I try to access one of my files. Hopefully this (drastic) measure will dissuade any pranksters from DDoS’ing me, or persuade the Series of Tubers to actually check my webpage and find out just how they’re clogging the pipes.
In brief: yes, I know you all love my reading of Repercussions of Evil, but please, if you want to keep hearing it, download it to your hard drive instead of adding to the server load. The Internet thanks you.
