:( maybe jumping to conclusions but probably is connected - kudos to
bytemark - they may have expected such action.

I would imagine people with enough bandwidth ['legitimate'/compromised
machines] are just going through the list of mirrors and flooding each one
- or selectively choosing certain mirrors - to launch a ddos attack on.
Problem is this pretty big cat is well and truly out of the bag now.

The more mirrors the better and maybe people will stop trying to put the
cat back in :) - oh and maybe stop accusing people of rape [although now
we have to wait until allegations are proven or withdrawn...]
