slashdotted most likely. According to #scheme, where the creatore is hanging out, the webserver ran out of virtual memory and shat its self. Its been re-configured so it might be running better now.
Its round robin mirrored accross a whole bunch of different servers so if youre only getting 8kb/s you could try cancelling and downloading again and seeing if it goes faster.
Whats surprising is, while Bayesian spam filters work well in his tests, the one that performs the best was never really heard of before.... I wonder how long it will be before we see something using the methods available, who wants to bet OpenSource will beet closed source to implementing this?
no no, thank you:-) Perhaps the policy will change and bittorent will be allowed (nothing like using a half a tera byte a day to get people to reconsider:-) .
I think this is the second time the csclub has been slashdotted with large video files. Last time, it went up to the top of IST and then nothing changed. This time, perhaps things will change, but the general internet connection is still not being maxed out. IST has there mrtg stats online, and you can clearly see when the slashdot article went up:-)
On high end systems its been fairly common to write the journals to nvram. Since journals have to be synchrous writes, this being available on commodity drives could greatly improve the performance of ext3 and other journalling file systems. Otherwise, your stuck waiting for journal commits to get to disk before you can move on.

If you feel the need to control what your kid eats in high school through a system like this, you've allready failed as a parent.
