Been trying to update my #! laptop and it continuously failed doing so. Then I found out that #! has been hit by a DDoS attack, unfortunately:
"DDoS Attack 2013-10-17 (ongoing)
It saddens me to report that the repo and torrent server are experiencing another DDoS attack. As with the previous attack, I do not have much information to share, but I will try and keep everyone informed as to what is happening. When I find out, you'll find out.
Apologies for the disruption."
Just came across this visualization of DDoS attacks: http://www.digitalattackmap.com/ NB: very high CPU load! -- source: http://it.slashdot.org/story/13/10/21/2127223/a-live-map-of-ongoing-ddos-att...
