    Hello, 
    I'm sure you are all seeing this, but, i have noticed a bit of a pattern
    to all this, every hit i get starts with the A....i.e.:
    
    
    
    ftp connection attempt from AReims-101-1-4-54.abo.wanadoo.fr:3165
    ftp connection attempt from AToulouse-201-1-2-235.abo.wanadoo.fr:2304
    ftp connection attempt from ALyon-201-1-6-98.abo.wanadoo.fr:3620
    ftp connection attempt from ABrest-101-1-4-4.abo.wanadoo.fr:3858
    ftp connection attempt from ALagny-101-1-6-165.abo.wanadoo.fr:4526
    ftp connection attempt from ALille-101-1-2-251.abo.wanadoo.fr:1025
    ftp connection attempt from ABesancon-101-1-4-78.abo.wanadoo.fr:3884
    
    this should all but confirm the fact that its some sort of script...hope
    that helps...
