no, the site is just extremely busy
i now have a complete hours worth of stats on the new server for this site, and wow...
between 6pm and 7pm tonight:
the site had 12086 hits, totaling 74MB of traffic.
the archive also had an additional 1581 hits totaling 259MB of traffic.
oh, and during that period winmxgroup.com also had 8186 hits totaling 31MB of traffic, but that isn't really related
the server is only at a fraction of its capacity, but that is still a lot more than i expected, although generating the stats uses more resources on the server than the actual traffic itself does, lol
i'll have to watch it for a bit to see the daily usage though, as traffic levels do of course vary depending on the time of day
