Is the IP at the beginning of each line the IP that requested the file that is shown at the end of the line? with the date and time in the center? If this isn't what's shown in this file, what is this format? What does this file tell me? Am I paranoid, or was someone trying to access my machine (but ignorantly assuming it was a Windows machine)?
