Coming back from my (short) holidays yesterday I noticed that A SINGLE user (IP-Range 194.6.233.XXX) had tried to kill the entire DLC by flooding the system maliciously with thousands of requests for the same file.
The IP is blocked now, UBRS DLC up - and I bet it's even harder now to bring it on it's knees: In case of high demand and request peaks the systems switches automatically to an exclusive server, where the database alone then runs on a Intel Core2 Duo 1,8 Ghz / 2 Gig server. I mean - such a server for ONE database - should be sufficient for GWX.
I see a lot of new uploads...I'll transfer them, let's say, in the next 48 hrs: The usual things you have to to when you just came home have priority NOW. I spent the last 1.5 days just to negotiate with techs and my hoster.
