    (that's twice what Napster had at its peak).

    DALNet has just had a bad period of DDoS attacks, a couple of servers still haven't rejoined.
    The attacks resolved themselves within about a week, when the IP for irc.dal.net was changed to 127.0.0.1, which turned the attacks on the kiddies themselves (quite hilarious).

    By the way, most of the attacks seem to be coming from universities like Harvard, Emory, etc... You'd think they would have something better to do with their time.
