You are right my friend... This was not a security problem though. We had double visits in one day... It is incredible how many people get attracted by FileMates the last week. I am happy but the same time it creates an extremely high and unexpected overload of the server.
That's why the servers' cofnigurations get changed continously, to test what is the best one for high traffic. You know every server has specific characteristics and the configuration, according to the script used, can be better in a way or another...
Today for example, all day long we had NO overload and the visits are extremely high again. This is good. This doesn't mean that this is the best cofniguration, though.
If it overloads again new parameters will need to be checked. The good thing is that with the new tools created, leechers and attackers get blocked easily as they get detected very fast. I hope the new configurations can afford the traffic boom of the last days...
