    Hi Edward,

    Your 'visitors' may just be using Download Managers, such as GetRight. These applications often try to open multiple anonymous connections to FTP servers to speed up their downloads. I know this doesn't answer your question directly - but it might help.

    Cheers,
    Michael Conroy.
