Crickets are stuffed full.
Indeed the crickets didn't drop very far during yesterday's downtime, which is most unusual - its almost like a DoS in action

And yet uploads and reports look to be getting through at the normal rate.

Very confusing!

SETI@Home is a DDoS attack to the servers.

When the download bandwidth stays up like that it has been a sign of backed up downloads in the past. A few weeks ago when there were massive backups the graph stayed pegged for the whole outage.

I don't have any pent up transfers and both my transfers seem to be going at a normal rate.

The servers stayed up for the whole outage this week, in case you did not notice.....almost pegged.
Download mania has never stuffed the web pages this bad before.....
I should know.
Something else is amiss.

Yeah I had looked at the graph already. The traffic stayed up only dipping to about 70mb before going back up again.

Eric advises me that it was a spider scan that was not picked up by the server settings.......freakin' net thingy.

Should get better now.

Yeah, there are lots of spiders/robots out there, that doesn't obey the robots.txt files on websites any longer. What you as a site owner wants, the ones who sends their spiders on your site, doesn't give a rats a** about...

Criminals they are, I tell you.

I support the death penalty for all who use the internet for other than it's intended means of unlimited communication. And the the abuse of it.

I recently sent a spoof email back to Paypal, and they intend to deal with it.
Or so they tell me.

When I was running my web server at home I had taken to adding blocks of IP's to the deny list on my router. I still have them in there and some of the ranges are pretty large. Such as 200.0.0.0-200.255.255.255

Feels like there is another one hitting us again.

Yeah, no kidding. My ancient Linksys router has connection logging via SNMP traps and I get port bombed anywhere from every couple of minutes to an hour, and when I do a whois on the IP.. China. It's always China.

When I upgrade to an enterprise-class router.. I'm blocking all of China. Probably most of Asia in general. If they can't behave on the Internet, then I don't want anything to do with them.

I no longer run a web server but when I did it was almost always China then Eastern Europe and Russia and then Africa no kidding I don't know what those people were trying to do my router always dealt with them. I think they just discovered the internet and servers and was trying to see if they could hack them of course they never did I was running Microsoft IIS at the time and they were using apache and other open source commands and looking for back doors since I was running IIS they did not have a chance I even put a web page that when they tried those commands it would go to that web page and it would say better luck next time.

Not only the forums running in slow motion again, but downloads are becomming more & more difficult. The pipe's been full for days, but it think it's even fuller now than it was before.

Although this is a big thread and loads veeerrrrryyyyy sssssslllooowwwwwwww, I wonder how the benchmark for INET connections
is done. It seems to be 300KBit/sec., while I've a 20MBit/sec ADSL
connection?!

Not sure if this post will get through- downloads are still sticking, but the forums have pretty much crawled to a halt.
Even the home page took over a minute to come up, on the 3rd attempt.

Time to refresh the mouse in the generator wheel,
This one is slow going,
Took a long time to bring up the `post to thread` window just so i can post this giberish.
Or should tat be gerbilish.

Maybe some moron is spidering the webserver again, like a few days ago. It's the same symptoms as then. Eric had to stop the spider then, and now it's Saturday and nobody at the lab to stop it.

I had a connection time out happen before being able to post, can somebody do something to fix this? Please???

I know that the download servers are hopelessly clogged by a combination of AP units and the shortie storm going on, but it seems now the upload servers have taken to throwing repeated HTTP errors.

Ahh, well, got to love the weekends.

Yeah... can see that even on the cricket graph, so it seems not to be just a little overload, which could clear itself after a short while.

Begin finger warm-ups for "Retry Now" marathon. Safety first.

Yeah I have a TON of downloads and uploads backed up. Downloads are working, albeit slowly. Uploads are totally stalled
