Sparkfun.com had their second annual free-day this morning, and as usual, iMOTOR walks away empty handed because their servers are inundated.

They’re giving away $150,000 of free merch (up to $100 per person) to whoever can get through.

Is there any strategy for trying to get into a server when elevendy billion other people are trying to?

What lets one person through during a DoS and not another?

I tried getting in last year but had no luck. I didn't bother trying this year.
