If it's a common log format access_log, the fourth and fifth (space separated columns) should look like this: [08/Jun/2005:07:36:41 -0400] The fourth column is the date and time, the fifth the offset from GMT. Since you know when the abuse occurred, you can use the date and time in the access_log to find the abusive traffic.

your raw logs may be zipped (ie .gz format) . You probably have to unzip it before you can read it.

And it's possibly you're not looking at the right logs; a server has a lot of things with "log" in the name. If Apache, the logs will have "access" in the filename. If IIS, the logs will use the name format "ex[yymmdd].log". It can be a shock to open the wrong kind of log in TextPad!

I just clicked on "Download Access logs" from my control panel that my server provides. It took a while to download but all I can see it a short page of stuff. My computer seems to think it is an MS-Dos application and it is over 300 MB. I have no idea ....

Well what is the file that you downloaded called?
That might give us some clue.
