I copied the above line to firefox with the mouse, so there were not
any typos on my behalf. Still, my firefox said "File not found".

You probably have entered this above area when 83.128.0.0/9 was
delegated to a spanish DSL provider. I noticed a lot of interesting
activity (trying ports 22, 445, ...) from them. They appear to have been
replaced by lots of /16s or /21s now, and they're all over Europe 
(.RU, .NL, .PL, .HR, ... .DE).

BTW I've set Followup-To: news.admin.net-abuse.email because that's
where any activity foiling spam is best posted. Just ignore the
kooks and the trolls.
