BitTorrent Servers Under DDoS Attacks

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the under-fire dept.

jZnat writes "CNet News.com reports that popular BitTorrent tracker hosts such as Suprnova and LokiTorrent underwent DDoS attacks on Wednesday (I'll bet you noticed). The culprits are primarily unknown, but these sites were flooded beyond control from the attack. This appears to be striking an interest in revising the BT protocol and Suprnova's interest in making their own protocol."

    I still believe abortion is wrong... it's still taking of a human life, that was created knowing the consequenses. It can be seen as murder.

    as for the rape aspect, the descion has to be left with the victim. But resposibility lies with the purportrator, not the victim.

    What I'm tired of sometimtes are narrow people like yourself, sir, who see the sharing (be that torrent or else) as being bad and sharers as being or doing evil
    I don't know why you think you're in a position to second guess what my views are. In any case, in this instance you're absolutely wrong.

    Man: So are you for or against abortion?

    Woman: AGAINST! It's wrong, it's taking life, and is the same as murder! Any instance of it is WRONG! Put it up for adoption, or take some responcibility!

    Man: So you are saying that if the young woman was raped so badly, that she should have the child from the instance regardless of the future psychological damage it would have on her? And even if having the child would, if the circumstance brought it up, kill her?

    Woman: Well.. um

    That one doesn't work so well, I've tried it before... Try this one for most entertainment value:

    Man: So are you for or against abortion?

    Woman: AGAINST! It's wrong, it's taking life, and is the same as murder! Any instance of it is WRONG! Put it up for adoption, or take some responcibility!

    Man: So you are saying that if you could have the baby surgically implanted in your womb to carry it to term for the next nine months, you would do so to prevcent the abortion from taking place?

    Woman: Well.. um
