[mirror-admin] fedora live images dos attack?

[Paul Mezzanini]

I am seeing the exact same behavior on my mirror.  I am curious on how the jidgo downloads look in an apache log.  I have never used the program but from what I could find in a quick 1 min google session it pulls files right out of the isos.  

This may be what we are seeing.

yes, they all have different resume ranges and are logged as 206 messages.  
nothing could be that bad by design. also, none of the dowload requests
are preceded by a normal 'visit' to the site and navigating through to the
image location - it all starts straight with the (partial) download
request.
