hi Thomas
there are several approaches that could be taken:  
 - block the whole country (using geoiplookup) 
 - block the whole country from downloading iso files 
 - block the list of IPs 
 - If the attacks persist from other IPs, then it is advisable to create a
list of IPs we can use here to share IPs trying to dos our mirrors. This way
everybody could use the list to block connections from them. 

 other suggestions are welcome

epe

Have you noticed that in your mirrors? look for these IP and notice if they
have
been trying to continously download iso

We did encounter the same issues with the same IP addresses and same iso file.
Till now I thought it was an isolated issue..
