The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

I have done this months ago. As some people might have noticed, ftp.cistron.nl
never gives more then 3 kb/s of bandwith to any *group* of people that
are logged on. Like 1 person is logged in: 3 kb/s. 2 people doing a file
transfer: 1.5 kb/sec. etc. (Yeah, we only have a 128 K link, which
comes down to 16 Kb/sec max, but more like 13 kb/sec max. And we pay more
for it than you do for a T1 in the States, but let's not get into that).

My diffs are currently against the new BETA wu-ftpd. Someone is trying
to get them into the release, but I haven't been following development
for some time. If anyone needs the bandwidth-diff, just drop me
an email and I'll tell you where to get them (somewhere under
ftp.cistron.nl/pub/people/miquels.....)
