There was some issue with the http server. It was in fact not down
just busy serving a large number of requests from one single user ...

When i noticed this I fixed that by IP address based banning.
And that said, this felt more like some sort of broken software not
something malicious. 

And raz has today put a better solution in place, so that should
not happen again. If new issues appear, please report them,
the configuration may still need to be tuned / changed ...

Thanks
