perhaps the many, many people who are trying to update and secure their existing systems or install new software or packages on them? the many others wanting to upgrade or install a new ubuntu? perhaps anyone who maintains or uses a ppa archive or other launchpad resource? there are millions of people outside of your sphere that are affected by this ongoing incident.

People who want to download a torrent to download Ubuntu?

I tried to report a bug by chance and launchpad.net was down too. I thought my internet was broken.
