i had a peak of web traffic on the cambridge ctan a few months back.
turned out it was the same machine downloading miktex repeatedly:
amounting to nearly 40gbytes of stuff.  miktex on cambridge ctan is
somewhat over 400 mbytes: a determined person, whoever it was.

my point being, that you can't necessarily count on sanity from the
raw statistics.  (and thinking about it, 2000/day from one site is a
heck of a lot of bandwidth ... even allowing that sourceforge is a big
site.)
