UK Ministry of Defense Broken by Spoof Video

Posted by timothy on from the oopsie-daisy dept.

An anonymous reader submits "It seems that the Royal Dragoon Guards in Iraq decided to make a spoof of a Tony Christie video, which was recently re-released by Peter Kay for Comic Relief. However, the video file was over 50MB and it took out various e-mail systems, including those at RAF Strike Command. Despite the inadvertant denial of service attack, the MoD said the spoof was 'brilliant.'"

    52MB WMV torrent. Also magnet:?xt=urn:btih:YVWX5ASA63LAOYSHSXG7Y2ULDEZE57 VF (minus spaces) for Azureus users, since that tracker won't be kept up for long.

    It's the "UK Ministry of DefenCe", not "Defense".
