Strange HTAccess Problem

The other day I was browsing through our WebTrends report for the last week (not WebTrends Live, just the one that looks at your logs). Then I get to the authenticated users section. We use HTAccess to allocate licence numbers to download our software. I see this:

User: aborir
Hits: 99
User Sessions: 1

Firstly, there's no user "aborir" who's in our htaccess or htpasswd file for downloads. Secondly, "aborir" looks like a misspelling of our business name "aborior". And Thirdly, 99 seems like quite a convenient number.

So I'm really confused about the whole thing. I checked our raw log files, and looks like "aborir" has managed to get in, but not download the software (like they've managed to get to the CGI script that manages file downloads, but haven't been able to download the actual software, perhaps even if you're denied access the logs will say you've accessed the particular file you were looking for). Only it's happened 99 times!

Does anyone have any idea what could be going on?
