Sorry Andrew, but this file just isn't that popular. And, with new articles everyday, the hit-ratio will drop, drop, drop! You gotta remember; only I hold the numerical secrets ;) If I log into my server via SSH, here’s what I get for today’s logs for this file:

If 10% of your visitors in a week download it, then you will easily surpass your bandwidth limit. And what if 10% of those who initially downloaded it accidentally delete and wish to <i> re</i>-download it? Pray to God that your ad-money will cover the fees...
