<div>I have seen this going for about 10 years with
different mirrors. The connections are one of three
things:</div>
<div>1. Automated downloaders getting blocked by
Great-Firewall configurations getting to a certain point</div>
<div>2. Malware installed on a lot of systems being
commanded to download the software and desist. This is
usually done to cause bandwidth issues all through the
stack. They are either getting stopped by firewalls or
just stopping the connections themselves as part of the
badness.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>From mirror managing Fedora, number 2 seems to be
more likely as a lot of the IP addresses doing this
never show up on asking mirrormanager for downloads.
Instead they seem to have gotten a list of mirrors from
some third party and are being commanded to do the
infinite downloads. I don't know if this is similar with
what is going on now. </div>
