Title: Whoops...
Post by: Wayne on May 31, 2010, 03:22:07 PM

In the colloquialism of the day, allow me to say "oops, my bad.."

For the first time ever, and in large part to Russian spammers who sucked up about 10 percent of our bandwidth, Amiga.org bypassed its 80 Gigabyte bandwidth limit somewhere around midnight last night.

Unfortunately I was in the middle of moving yesterday, so rather asleep at midnight and did not realize this fact until I got up this morning.

Surprised I didn't get a call from the site's owners, but should be all fixed now.

Thanx for the help Wayne. Sorry, I am out of town for the holiday. I just woke up and found out the site was down.

That won't help if they were using bots, if they had a lot of computers taken over, an IP ban won't help, they will simply look for new suckers who don't have their pc's well protected and those will be used for new bots.
