Thanks Fonz. I'm looking over ways of preventing this in MS iis6. Found some good software (hopefully) to combat this issue. If that is in fact the issue. I too hope that my site go popular but with no sales from all that traffic increase I doubt it. lol. Im also hopeing it might be be a log file issue and the software farted when reading it. As things seemed to have returned to normal. I would think if someone was hotlinking this would be an on going problem. Unless they took the page down they were linking to. But thank you for your info it did help me start to look in a direction of something I need to do anyway. Thanks Jugg..
