I was just wondering if some of this was coming from Malaysia because the
address space from Malaysia's only two ISPs is getting blocked by seriously
ticked-off folks. There is a need to hide your source address in
Malaysia. Taken from:

Undernet, a worldwide Internet Relay Chat (IRC)
network that allows people to connect to its
privately-run computer servers free of charge to
communicate in real time over the Internet, has banned
Internet users from both of Malaysia's only two Internet
service providers (ISPs) for abusing its services.
Although Undernet is one of many IRC networks, it is
one of the largest and joins two of the other largest -
DALNet and EFnet - in instituting temporary or
permanent bans on Internet users logging on from the
Jaring or TMNet ISPs in Malaysia.
