Hi Guys, I am investigating huge numbers of index downloads from Central. Please check your systems to make sure you aren't repeatedly downloading the index. I keep finding ips that are downloading the index from central. repeatedly. The worst offender has done it 77k times this month, followed by another at 56k etc. To protect the system, we will have to resort to blocking ip numbers. If you find you suddenly can't access Central, it is likely you were effectively dos'ing the system. This seems to be an ongoing problem and I'm open to suggestions to how to avoid having to take draconian actions.
