I wonder if this is a part of an attack that has been targeting private torrent trackers recently. A lot of private trackers lately have been getting hit by DDOS attacks. To the point that a few have taken on extra developers/admins which have openly stated their primary goal is to deal with said attacks. One in particular that has a large user base (35,000 active users) has been experiencing difficulties and is also customer of CloudFlare. This might be one reason why CloudFlare is hesitant to give out details. The "French networking host" (OVH) that is mentioned in the article is one of the largest suppliers of seedboxes I known of. Usually indirectly through smaller companies who buy from OVH and then provide support and server management services. In fact, this is so widely known within the private P2P community that "being on the OVH network" is actually a selling point due to the sheer amount of peers that you'll be getting ridiculously high speeds with. Of course, it could all just be a coincidence too.
