It was a theme she had on a scheme he had

[venta]

Some time ago, before we had all this summer nonsense, I posted an mp3 of a track called England Green. It was an attempt to console people when it wouldn't stop raining (despite Oxfordshire's hosepipe ban).

Recently, trawling around in my weblogs, I noticed that it's still being regularlylistened to. From an IP address which whois tells me falls in a range owned by China Telecom. Which is odd.

Is it you ? Does anyone know who this mysterious person in China (or perhaps not in China at all) is ? I'd hate to take the mp3 down while they're still listening to it, and presumably enjoying it, but maybe they could be persuaded to download themselves a local copy ?

At this rate, I'll have to replace the mp3 with a recording of me saying "you fool Just download it".

It is certainly odd. Two (remote) possibilities:

• The page I put photos on for your photo contest is getting regular hits from google and inktomisearch (yahoo). That was linked from your livejournal entry (and nowhere else I am aware of) so it's possible a spider has found your mp3 file - though why it's interested in mp3 or zip files is another matter. What is the browser your Chinese fan is using?
  
  
• Someone I know put an mp3 file I was hosting into their itunes playlist, or something. Their pc kept accessing the file and I got the impression this was happening whether they listened to it regularly or not (possibly itunes was reading the tags?)

Which browser:
"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.00; Windows 98)"

Although a lot of the accesses don't report a brower, so maybe the iTunes thing is a plausible explanation.
