Just background radiation of the Internet. Maybe... ;)

It looks like it might have been background noise - I checked my hub 
again today, it seems to have restarted the counter from this morning, 
and everything from yesterday has disappeared(!). My crappy hub's 
logging appears to be faulty, and is telling me porkies! I just didn't 
notice before.
