[LLVMdev] Bulk Download: Please Stop

[John Criswell]

Dear All,

Someone (hopefully one of you) is doing a mass download of materials 
from llvm.org.

Mass downloads are generally  fine, but in this case, they're hitting 
the server so hard that it's using all available Apache processes, 
preventing access by other LLVM users.  Since these accesses appear 
legitimate, I assume that there is no ill intent.  However, these 
accesses are, in fact, creating a Denial of Service for everyone else.

If this is you, *please* throttle back your download program or 
terminate it.  Also, your download program appears broken because you're 
downloading the same files over and over again.

To everyone else, since the web server isn't responding to the community 
at large, I'm going to restart it to kill off connections from this bulk 
download.

Thanks.
