What do you mean ?
Is the website working for you ? Or you can't access the site AND can't mine ?

The web site is down I can access it here in Toronto as well.

So what software are you using to fight of the attack?

I don't see how any software will help if the bandwith pipe is simply overwhelmed.

inspection would have to be done at a larger pipe (maybe service provider, backbone level for ex.) and then valid requests can be "allowed" to continue while the attack could be redirected...

for ex. if the attack is 40 GB, you need to have counter measures in a spot that can handle more than 40GB traffic.

if one was in an AT&T data center (level 1), you could buy DDoS protection service from them. it works as advertised, it withstood anon attacks on a few places. but it costs 3-4 K /month.

the only way it wouldn't work is if the attack is actually sending "valid" work requests and is overwhelming the listener AND the traffic looks indistinguishable between a valid worker. This, unfortunately is easy to implement specifically for bitcoin....
