Bandwith Hog: bx_files_files mp3 file

Recently my site has begun to lag considerably.  As I began to look at some metrics, I noticed that one file that was the cause for a lot of bandwidth use was "/s/bx_files_files/nc4rgxdktw67qj6fhy22zpgzkdsumxka.mp3"

So far in August, this file has been access over 17,000 times.  The average file size was 65.04MB for a total bandwidth usage of 1.3 TB.


Anyone know what this file might be? I have looked for the "s" directory and it is not present.  Is this a temp file that is cached and deleted somehow by a chron job?  It almost seems like it is being served up with every call to the server.

    • After searching through the file structure, I found a path that was similar "/public_html/community/storage/bx_files_files/n/nc/nc4" that had a the same but without the .mp3 extension.  This file was no where to be found in my Files section of the site.  I am not sure how it was accessed for download so many times.
