Well,

I noticed that when traffic on BZPower (which is a BrickJournal mirror)

We also noticed it here in our datacenter (where Legofan.org is hosted).
We have 15 leased lines here, but the slashdot effect almost brought us to

alone!



Being mirror #4, I'm making an educated guess of about 1000 downloads since
go time from me...
