Anyone else seeing high numbers of requests for the DVD isos from a few discrete locations? I'm getting multiple requests for dvd's from over 500 separate locations.

Thanks, Bob
Bob,
Nice catch. I'm seeing some of the same IPs (listed below) on my mirror as well. I'm not sure whether I should block them or not though because I'd prefer not block people actually getting the ISOs but I also don't need bandwidth being consumed for no good reason since my mirror is already maxing out it's caps.

Hi!
I too am being hit, hard.. Although I did not carry DVD iso but the quasi-DOS on the CD iso files are just as bad. Not just bandwidth consumption but several dozens simultaneous connections from a single IP. I think it's due to clients behind these IPs using some kind of download managers.
So much so it is affecting those others who are grabbing *.rpm's download performance.
I am tempted to use mod_bw and limit *.iso bandwidth to a reasonable low max download speed and limitipconn to limit those download manager users to a reasonable simultaneous connection.
