Seeing /55.rar or /55.zip in your server logs usually means an automated script has visited your IP address or domain. These scripts are "dumb"—they don't know if your site actually has that file; they are simply checking millions of sites at once to see if a 404 Not Found or a 200 OK is returned. Should you be worried?

: Tools like Logwatch can help you identify when these scans spike.
