Not sure if this is the correct place for this post. Sorry in advance...I couldn't find any other relevant place!

I'm the admin for my company's DNN site -- it's an extranet for our partners and customers. I'm also the admin for my company's corporate external site.

When looking at the web analytics data for my corporate site, I see that my DNN site has referred over 200 visits to my corporate site. And the referring URL from my DNN site (say, www.[dnnsite].com) is the following:

//desktopmodules/xsdocumentlibrary/components/filedownloader/xsfiledownloaderpage.aspx

Needless to say, I have no idea what is referring those visits! When I open that .aspx page, it looks like a bunch of gibberish. So, what's referring those visits? Is it a file? An image? A link? Is there any way to find out? Is there any way to fix it?

Thanks so much for any help!

it looks like that is a third party component that's used to allow users to download files. i would check your iis logs to see what the full url is, just in case your web analytics tool is stripping querystring parameters (they commonly do this). If you like I can take a look at your logs - send them to cathal.connolly(at)dotnetnuke.com

It's this module http://www.opendnn.net/DNNModules/OpenDocumentLibrary/tabid/92/Default.aspx

Presumably it is holding an entry that makes the reference. Could be a document, a link in a document, a graphic, or anything really.
