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".

Ah. I see.

And no, it isn't that, because the link wasn't originally broken. About a month ago I was clearing up old files, and removed the zip file. I was about to remove the mp3 file (and remove the links) when I realised it was still being downloaded.

So at the point whoever it is started downloading it every day, the link to the zip file worked.

My Firefox, if I click on a link to an mp3, pops up a box asking if I want to play it or save it. I don't remember changing any options to do with that, so had assumed it the default behaviour.
