searching for certain TV programs certainly garners an attack, that I noted a while back...so yes, there is a correlation between what one is searching for and being attacked...and sometimes one gets attacked just for being connected (most likely as an UP) to the network...I do notice the latter seems to have stopped after I contacted EFF about the subject...I mean really, it is obvious it would be against the law to DDOS a person simply because they are connected to the network (and I verified this by ONLY being connected yet was still constantly being hammered by MediaDefender)
