O.P. Grin  The Lad Vampire!! (Donate your idle bandwidth for a good cause)
Hey :)

Recently there was a discussion here concerning the World Community Grid, where you donate your idle CPU time to assist in cancer research. I just thought I'd go ahead and show you guys something similar, only this time your bandwidth is put to use.

Behold: (6) The Lad Vampire! (6)

So what's this flashy picture page all about? Well, by viewing this webpage, you're basically stealing bandwidth from Nigerian fraudulents (most of them are Nigerian, anyway) who are running these so called fake banks and lotteries in order to steal money from innocent users. The Lad Vampire makes your browser continuously download pictures off these sites in an effort to overload their servers. Check out www.aa419.org for more information.

Be aware of the fact that this will consume all of your bandwidth (no low-priority download feature :(), so you'll mostly just want to run the Vampire when you're afk. I've currently downloaded about 80,000 pictures since opening the page today, and it hasn't even been running for all that long. :)
