The end is NIGH
Hi there. I don't really now what to say, so I will start with the facts.

Mongo56.org has been under attack by unknown IP's for a long time now using port 3434, a public tracker port, with the tracker listening on this port, it renders the tracker useless as the attack consumes all the available bandwidth.

Well, as of the 9th November 2005, an attack has started on another port, at present I don't know which one, nor who is doing this.

So, we are now faced with a very hard decision, do we close down mongo56.org for good, and let the them win, or we just let the attacks happen, and allow maybe 1 in every 100,000 peers connect.

Well, we are going to go for option 2, I will leave the tracker running on all port EXCEPT 3434 until the end of November, if the attacks have stopped and the tracker is once again usable, then mongo56.org will continue, if the attacks have not stopped then we will be forced to close down the site on 1st December 2005.

My personal apologies to all, but my hands are tied, I hope you understand, we are only human after all.
