Update 2: Another one at the moment, so site is slow. :)
Update: Another 30000 bots joined the party, so cpu usage is high at the moment. Site is slower than normal.
Appearently about 17500 bots are attempting to slow down our instance and eating bandwidth by grabbing the same files over and over.
They are banned for now but its an ongoing battle against these guys. Just wanted to let you know in case you notice worse performance. :)
