CNet News.com (http://news.com.com/BitTorrent+servers+under+attack/2100-7349_3-5473754.html?part=rss&tag=5473754&subj=news.7349.5) reports that popular BitTorrent tracker hosts such as Suprnova and LokiTorrent underwent DDoS attacks on Wednesday (I'll bet you noticed). The culprits are primarily unknown, but these sites were flooded beyond control from the attack. This appears to be striking an interest in revising the BT protocol and Suprnova's interest in making their own protocol (http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/12/02/2016244&tid=95)."
