Perhaps the server needs to be rebooted? Could somebody responsible for maintaining the server please look into this issue? It seems to have been persisting for at least about half an hour. Thank you....
Should now be sorted out for the moment.
Yes; it works fine now.
We have this recurring problem where a single client can hog all the download slots. Not using a lot of bandwidth, just taking up slots which eventually means the number of slots hits the maximum and so no new connections can be made. I'm not sure how other people configure apache to avoid this problem. It seems like a really cheap DoS attack so other apache users must get similar problems and so there must be a solution somewhere. Sadly, I've not seen anything obvious.
Thanks; I'll keep your description in mind. If I come across anything that looks helpful, I'll post it on this mailing list. -- Benjamin L. Russell
