Loading fine at 23. Perhaps you experienced an edge case load? Did a simple refresh fix it? Either way, performance seems totally fine on my end.

3000 computers means each one is putting out a full 100Mb/s, which unless those 3000 computers are in data centers seems unlikely. Seems like 30,000 nodes at 10Mb/s would be more likely? But I don't have experience in botnets, just curious.
