[Hopefully there's just a simple explanation for my rather AOL-style
subject]

Something odd must have recently happened to my webspace. I shall
explain...

The main bulk of my webspace is taken up in the subdirectory /discog/
with well over 400 files. (It's complete rubbish and I haven't updated
it for a year, but I retain it as it generates hits and some people find
it useful). This generates between 4 and 12 MB of bwusage per day. I
often keep checking my bwusage, and from Tuesday I was no longer having
/discog/ listed. This is not unusual, as an occasional lull is not rare.

I received an email from someone today informing me it was giving a 404.
Instantly I investigated, and sure enough, he was right. I went to my
ftp account, and the /discog/ directory had disappeared!

I had not done *anything* to cause this, apart from the uploading of
some new stuff in a new subdirectory a week or two ago.

Could someone offer a plausible explanation for this dissapearance? I
have since reuploaded it all, but I am extremely curious to know what
caused this.
