Excessive bandwidth of only one picture

Hi Smugmug,
It seems that i have one picture that takes up a lot of bandwidth. It is strange, since i never put it in an online forum and such and it is not a great picture.
This month and, if i remember well, last month, that image alone is responsible for a quarter of my bandwidth: over 400MBytes out of 2GBytes total. This seems a little excessive. This is the report of this image http://flyingdutchie.smugmug.com/photos/5157124-O.jpg :
Thumb: 197
Small: 176
Medium: 42
Large: 11
Original: 201
Bandwidth: 415.45 MB
It seems some other site is linking to this picture. Is there a way to find out who is linking to it? I tried google, but besides my own galleries i found no other site that links to this image.
Thank you.

I can't grasp the notion of time.
When I hear the earth will melt into the sun,
in two billion years,
all I can think is:
"Will that be on a Monday?"

I'm sorry, we don't have a way of finding out where that image is going. You might try deleting and reuploading, it'll have a new img number then, and whoever is linking it will have a broken link...

google analytics gives me clues, but doesnt solve the mystery.
is there a way to find out if we are being linked from somewhere else besides google analytics/statcounter etc...?

Duh!! Of course! Simple solution!
I will do that when i get home. Thanks!
(although i'm still kind-a curious from where this image is linked...:D )

Edit: I did a 'Make 2nd Copy' and deleted the original. No upload necessary.

And then see if the linking site gets any complaints... hehehehe

Another thing you might do is change the picture to something else. Something really really nice , but leaving the link exactly the same.
In other words. If that picture's address is http://www.yoursite.com/photos/thatpic.jpg
Take another pic and name it thatpic.jpg and hehe the NEW and IMPROVED:gun2
picture will then appear on their website.
Shame on them for hotlinking and stealing your bandwidth.
I know - I'm evil.
Oops between phone calls and the boss interrupting me, others posted something similar.
Here's an interesting site.
http://wholinkstome.com/
type in the address of that pic and maybe you can visit the sites and find out who it is.

I know very very little about SmugMugs tech side & i am really not that interested at all. Im just into photography.
Moving a photo will keep the link the same. Have to do what I suggested above, kill it and reload. Then it gets a new file number.
Dutchie- it's being linked via your D70 community, I used the "wholinkstome" link above and saw that...

A re-upload of the pic is not necessary. I deleted it, but i did a 'Make 2nd Copy' first. Now the '5157124' part of the URL to this image has effectively changed to '46467331'.
