A Chinese porn site (http://www.iyin.net/) has been inserting
http://git.gnome.org/ as announce URL into their torrents. As a result,
the majority of our git.gnome.org http traffic now consists of
bittorrent clients.
This is not a problem at all for the server, but it eats up traffic,
plus we don't allow many http connections, so any access to
http://git.gnome.org/browse might be slow. E.g. anything hosted in Red
Hat is already pretty slow to access outside of USA.
I've complained to the hoster of www.iyin.net which is Awknet
Communications. Any further assistance to take down the site would be
appreciated (e.g. complaining to Chinese government as IIRC porn is not
allowed).
