Hmm. Yesterday, there were 199250 accesses to PyPI through wget. Of those, 169971 requests came from a single address (from Dedibox in France), 28966 requests from a second one (from Sakura in Japan).
So it *is* wget mirrors that make the whole traffic in PyPI.
If it were me, I'd just IP firewall the offendors. There's not need for this kind of behaviour if there's an acceptable mirror protocol available...
Well not yet... but the PEP should be finished sometimes this week,
cheers,
