ALL network access crossing the polan router (ie, all traffic to or from the outside world) was suffering very poor performance due to one abusive user on "Anchor" today, who appeared to be doing large sustained transfers of multiple large files in parallel for many hours throughout the day.

It is not absolutely certain who this person was, but a number of leads have been established. Measurs will be taken to try to prevent this from happening in the future.

Note that this type of behaviour is very disruptive and is heavily discouraged, due to the impact on all users in POLAN.
