Thanks for the link.
But this is deliberate, not a mistake. :)
As we have 45 user limit, so it is nearly always full,

So what is the use of redirecting malicious downloads to eat up a few
or all ftp slots?
As we offer _only_ ftp to public, so all legitimate downloads from mm
will come to ftp, not http and for this reason, we assume all .iso
requests via http as sign of DOS attack. :)
Otherwise even the ftp will be unusable.

PS: We offer .iso and everything via ftp. Only I wish I had a larger pipe...
Sometimes it feels like all my efforts and cares are going down the
drain because of bandwidth shortage, for which I have no solution, as
I don't pay for it...the university does that :)
