SourceHut disrupted by LLM crawlers

June 6, 2026 at 7:00 PM UTC

git.sr.ht

This issue is not resolved yet

git.sr.ht is being disrupted by aggressive LLM crawlers .

An aggressive botnet is scraping git.sr.ht to obtain data to train large<br>language models. It has been able to circumvent the defenses we ordinarily<br>deploy to mitigate these botnets, and as a consequence git.sr.ht is unstable. We<br>have taken some aggressive measures to ensure some service remains available,<br>but for the time being we have disabled a large number of routes for the web<br>service to keep the load managable, which will cause disruptions to ordinary<br>users.

(19:00 UTC — Jun 6)

Mitigations have been deployed.

The mitigations we deployed are working, for the time being, and we were able to<br>narrow the impact to affect fewer legitimate users. However, some users may<br>still experience issues using git.sr.ht at this time.
