Probably not,
as I'm still able to post this, and it shouldn't take much to hang /overload my system and especially my connection.
But I am getting terrible connections to many servers, so I thought I'd check it out.
I used `tcpdump -ipp0` to read my internet traffic and I believe I keep getting 3 packet handshakes or something. For example:

(grouped as I think it should be)
Now am I right in assuming that the connections are grouped as: 2 partial packets (i.e. containing something that should be considered as a single payload) sent from the remote machine, and a single response from my machine? Or is it the other way around (in which case I must now check for spyware stuff)
What activity is going on here? I see these packets come by sometimes 3 times every 2 seconds, sometimes 10/sec. I was trying to play a game online, but I think this is messing it up.
Anyone know how I should deal with this? The IP is assigned to a broadband ISP in the UK (I live in the Netherlands), and abuse mails don't give much response. Will simply blocking the remote address help?
