This file gets a huge number of hits.
http://scripting.com/feeds/top100.opml
Yet it hasn’t changed since 2004.
The hits come from a wide variety of IP addresses, which seems to imply some software has this URL programmed into it.
If you can provide a clue, please post a comment here.
Just curious…

The reason got so hight hit rate on this page is because people tried to click on “XML Feed List (e.g. blogroll): Raw OPML, OPML made readable in our OPML Viewer.” in the following page and get a problem that show a link to here.

I really doubt it has anything to do with the OPML Viewer page. I created the OPML Viewer site, and I’m just not seeing any great traffic (yet?) Google Analytics tells me that What Is OPML page got 56 page views in the last month, and that’s far, far from what I imagine would trigger a ‘huge’ number of hits on a linked page.
It’s much more likely it’s coming from the Wikipedia OPML page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OPML
If it’s a problem, naturally I’m happy to edit my What Is OPML page to remove any/all links, or point them at more appropriate examples.
Many thanks,
Geoff
