Andux's Journal: Oh My God, You Slashdotted Freenet!

from the you-bastards dept.
I think this article is going to do wonders for the Freenet userbase. Why do I say that, you ask? Because I had 38 fricking connections to my node after it was posted, and no remaining bandwidth whatsoever! Unfortunately, I only thought to get a screenshot (I will be very surprised if that link works at all for the next 24 hours.) later, after it had gone down to 33.

Of course, my ISP cut me off a few minutes later, but I've begun accumulating connections again; 16 at last count. Update: Connections seem to be going back to normal now. I saw it get up to ~25 this time, but a few minutes later things got so bad that the Open Connections page wouldn't even reload, so I don't know what the real peak was. At least the screenshot will load in a reasonable time now.
