Notice to HostsMan users

2008-07-16T18:07:00.004+01:00

This is a message from Steven Burn, author of hpHosts:

This is a notice to all HostsMan users, currently using hpHosts.

Because I am seeing hundreds of requests per second coming in from HostsMan users*, I must request you please set HostsMan to check a maximum of TWICE PER DAY, and not every other second, as is the case now.

Whilst I do not want to ban the HostsMan user agent, the servers cannot handle the amount of traffic they are generating (the HM traffic currently accounts for 60% of the traffic coming into the network).

* the traffic I am seeing is only from a small sub-set of HM users, but amounts to a mini dDos due to the frequency in which they are doing it.

I hope that the users that somehow have set HostsMan to check for updates for more than twice a day follow Steven's request, otherwise, there won't be hpHosts for HostsMan users.

Thanks.
