Dave -

I went there and was intrigued.  http://elitetorrents.org/ goes
to a frameset which includes:

http://192.31.21.68/Shut%20Down%20By%20FBI%20AND%20ICE_files/

That, in turn, yields this traceroute:

15  unknown.level3.net (64.156.191.10)  62.733 ms  44.501 ms  45.521 ms
16  inet-sdsc-sdsc2--lax-isp-ge.cenic.net (137.164.24.206)  68.372  
ms  47.105 ms  53.644 ms
17  medusa.sdsc.edu (132.249.30.10)  49.865 ms  48.938 ms  48.747 ms
18  www.dhs.gov (192.31.21.68)  52.224 ms  49.003 ms  47.183 ms

So, unless dhs is tunelling inside of sdsc, this looks like
it might be somewhat suspect.  :)
