We've seen the same chinese IPs downloading the DVD iso's 24/7 with like 10-20 concurrent connections, sometimes using upwards of 300Mbit/sec. We dropped supporting the DVD downloads and implemented systems to ban such malicious activity. There's no way this is a 'download accelerator'. Someone or some ISP is trying to generate traffic (for whatever reason, maybe to meet peering quotas), and using our DVD mirrors as an easy method. -- Randy www.FastServ.com ---------- Original Message ----------- From: "Administrador" <admin at mail.idl3.net> To: "Mailing list for CentOS mirrors." <centos-mirror at centos.org> Sent: Fri, 22 Jan 2010 04:04:09 +0100 Subject: Re: [CentOS-mirror] Please remove from mirror list: mirrors.bigtennetwork.com/CentOS > Dear Ralph. > > At the moment we as mirror, if that decision is taken (before it > will exhaust all possible options) will be officially communicated. > Therefore, we continue like mirror. > > Regards > > José A.
