Seems like there an IP-discrimination case coming up in the UN any day now..
Here comes that X-Files paranoia again.
I got there twice and the third time was rejected. Is it just remotely possible that the message indicating "aren't accepting" may be due to load? After all, the SuSE distro's _are_ extremely popular.
My nightly rsync mirror jobs have been remotely disconnected for the last couple of days, as well, which is generally indicitive of bandwidth problems. They're probably just experienceing higher-than-normal load, possibly due to some DDOS (either intentional or not). :) --Danny, who really likes having a local mirror
