Server Lag Fixed

[Haazen]

Haazen is an idiot

Here are graphs that show server traffic for the past little bit.







You can see our normal traffic and the massive traffic the past week or so. In the second you can see we are back to normal since last night about 11 pm.

This is all my fault. I had an ftp site on the server that was anonymous login with read/write permissions.

Someone found this, probably with a crawler program, and uploaded a ton of stuff and then others were downloading it.

I am guessing one of those programs used to chop up stolen movies and music for folks to download and reassemble.

Any way, sorry for all the lag. It is my fault for not securing the server and we got our great bandwidth hi-jacked.

I sometimes forget I have one of those chopper programs running and wonder why my bandwidth gets bad a for a few days.
