Blaming DDOS.  http://status.linode.com

"The incident was a probable DDOS attack, but its behavior was unusual and difficult to identify. Our network engineers 
made some adjustments to the DOS countermeasures acquired after last week's incident, and that seems to have stabilized 
traffic flow. We apologize for the inconvenience. -Ben Larsen Hurricane Electric Internet Services"
