Its still confusing me. Could we have someone explain to me like I am a 5 year old?
Could you put this explanation in the OP, or the 2nd post if it is reserved?
Basically how it worked was that in the background the web browser made a connection to the btccake.com for about a minute. If something happened, a message would have been send through that connection. If not, the connection would timeout, and the web browser would reconnect again. And this would go on forever, just so if there were something happening at btccake.com, you would have been notified about it without having to reload the page. However, a misstake at btccake.com kept this connection open (or really didn't release it), even though you had disconnected.
Now, there is a limit on how many of these that can be open, so, as you can imagine, if a new connection was made from you every minute, it adds up. Especially because this is exactly the same for every new users too. And thus, when these open connections are too many, btccake.com (the server) can't handle any more and thus you can't access the site.
Makes more sense now?
