I heard from a friend that what.cd and similar torrent sites like that have been under heavy ddos attacks for a while now.

what, ptp and tvt all seem to be down and cloudflare customers, they've been mostly down for over a week now (tvt was fine until recently).

there seems to be a trend where media torrent sites are targeted and i'm wondering how it's been able to go on for so long.

what.cd started using CloudFlare for the site, as was stated in the blog post regarding the DDoS attacks.

[liliff@ichigo ~]$ dig ns what.cd +short

walt.ns.cloudflare.com.

leah.ns.cloudflare.com.

If you go to what.cd in your browser right now, you get a CloudFlare page stating that what.cd is not responding.
