went and did my daily rolls this morning @ 7am and then got busy doing rl stuff
then this afternoon @ 4:30 started netlimiter to check on something and down at the bottom of the list is ddoclient still connected to 74.201.102.170

did a whois and no real info cause that ip appears to be part of a batch assigned generically
did a traceroute and it finally traced back to turdbine
and before you ask, yes i was looking at the online section
and i use the ddoml so i don't have akamai crap even installed on my box
the connection didn't seem to be sending or receiving anything at the time
and hadn't for at least the 10 minutes i looked at on the graph
so, if anyone knows why they apparently keep a connection alive for 8 hours when i'm not even doing anything on my computer except checking email and facebook i would like to know
