Hi there,
What you're probably seeing is the effect of the chunking that's required on cell based devices like the Storm. To bypass size restrictions it needs to download little parts of the file at a time (usually in sizes between 100kb and 5mb, but it varies by provider and BIS/BES settings).
So, an individual user could be downloading just one full copy of the file, but if it's (let's say) a 20mb file and their BIS limits them to 100kb per transfer, you would see 200 requests in your logs (though the total bytes transferred would still be about 20mb, the file plus some small header overhead). IIRC you can use the response code to see if this is the case (usually 206 I believe).
Hope this helps, let me know if I can answer anything else.
