Was it dented much on the downtube by any chance?

This may sound rather narrow, but all the frames that have cracked on a random middle spot on the downtube seem to be of 7000 series aluminium. Woodstocks being one example. It's probably just a case of overly-thin tubing or manufacturing defect; but I've had a fair few 2nd/3rd/4th hand frames that have been totally smashed and raped on the downtube and chainstays, yet no local weakspots seem to be forming?

I have put no dents on the downtube. I have had the frame since april and it had the dent where it cracked when i got it. It cracked in the middle of the dent lol. Dont know why it has gone all of a sudden :S
