Zombie Share Link?!

Postby Boutros » Tue Aug 28, 2012 7:31 pm

So, this is a new one by me.

I threw up a Share link to Facebook yesterday. A friend of mine, who's a fairly prominent musician, shared it on his wall. He has 5000+ friends, a number of whom in turn shared it on THEIR walls. The upshot of it all was a huge influx of traffic to my server. After several hundred listens in the first hour or so, I threw in the towel and deleted the Share from my server via Settings -> Shared Media.

Today, much to my surprise, I'm still seeing people accessing it - it's been over 24 hours since I deleted it. It's only a trickle (4 or 5 separate sessions today), but I'm totally at a loss as to how they're doing so - when I click on the link I get a 404 as expected.

Any ideas how this could be happening and how I'd go about disabling it once and for all?

If they opened the link and left the page open then deleting the share would not have affected them.

Just a guess...
