Dude i had that 3 times with 3 different sponsors. Same story.
1 was handled through email. When they first looked they found nothing wrong and after i pushed them to look again they noticed the tracking of the hits and signups went koo koo and they ended up cutting extra checks for 50% of their affiliates thanks to me.

2nd case, sales stopped, hits stopped, I tried to get it fixed through icq, that person didnt give a shit so i had to bring it to the boards and guess what, there was something wrong on their side. Now its fixed.

3rd one last week. No hits were tracked for some sites, first they couldnt find anything and once again after i kept pushing them to look they found an error on their side.

I dont think that any of the 3 sponsors above did this on purpose but i do notice that their first reaction always is: Theres nothing wrong. No program owner wants to show their errors so they simply say gfy. in these 3 cases it was sooooo fucking clear there was something wrong. But they "didnt see it" Same story as you had: sending lets say 200 hits a day, every day and then suddenly without touching my links it shows 10 hits per day. Or the same story with sales. Yet all these program owners point you directly at your traffic source. Telling them that didnt change is something they dont understand.

Ok i got carried away a bit here. Im just saying, dont give it up like that. Bug them and if you are sure about your case and they are unwilling to cooperate then take it the boards. It sucks and its something i always try to avoid but if you know you are 100% correct then its their problem they will get bad publicity. Dont do it if you are not sure tho, you will lose your credibility.

Ignore the possible grammar mistakes, i typed really fast.
