Re: [CentOS] [Possibly OT] - General question: state of internet traffic

the last month. Until today, I haven't experienced any. However, getting bank record data from chase.com here in NYC seems impossible.

What do you mean by "getting bank record data" ?

Every major US bank is under a constant DoS attack, which sometimes causes the sites to be slow. This is unrelated to the little squabble going on between SpamHaus and CyberBunker, though.

(I have a machine in LA while being in NYC; ftp traffic is difficult to establish westbound; no problem eastbound).

I'm in NJ and able to contact servers in Fremont, Dallas, NYC and Amsterdam without any issue. I suspect you have local issues.
