But maybe you're right. I've posted it as bug#38881. However the issue remains open for other distributions.
]]>Since KGN refuses to cease activities (an e-mail sent to me 2014/01/13) and they're clearly disrupting the service, maybe Arch and Ubuntu (and possibly other affected distros, if any) should consider blocking the operator on tracker?
Can someone start the topic on Ubuntu's forums too? I don't want to create account just to send a single notification.

I don't think it's an attack. I don't see motives too. Hating Linux is not good enough reason to spend money on such thing .
During a talk with a friend we have came up with an idea that possibly someone is testing their own equipment on expense of others bandwidth. This is the only plausible explaination I can find for now. There were few others (students downloadnig Linux during a course, someone wanting to mirror images, misconfigured equipment), but they have flaws.
I would wait for reports/confirmations from other seeders, before jumping into conclusions. It's unlikely, but possible that it's just a very strange coincidence that just happened to me.

Only 2 hosts from this range in past 24 hours. One of them has downloaded Arch three times.Is anyone else experiencing the issue?

From which (exact) IP addresses are the connections coming from? I'll take a look into this then.
