The other day my server started getting slow and the logs showed it was being heavily spammed with strange requests like for BingBar,
218.94.73.210 - - [22/Apr/2015:13:25:37 +1200] "GET /BingBar/signed/SeaPort.cab HTTP/1.1" 404 13315 "-" "SeaPort/3.1"
And many requests from different IPs for:
221.174.220.44 - - [21/Apr/2015:18:26:40 +1200] "POST /R/A10KIDg2YTU3MjA2YTczODRhNTliYzE5ZmRjNjMwNjBjZGU1EgQAJwIVGHgiAQAqBwgEEMrTxi844o-ASEIgQrOBZPRm7QvL7xHK09_W6HZUB9NNHDQINI6TlOsbHqk= HTTP/1.1" 404 13315 "-" "-"
and for "BitTorrent"
120.84.145.107 - - [22/Apr/2015:17:36:54 +1200] "GET /announce.php?info_hash=J%CCV%1E%1E%87%17H%2A%E6U%B5%F6%E6%A9%60%AF%DE%26%1B&peer_id=%2DSD0100%2D%00%FAsp%B3%EF%0A%D9A%CB%3D%7B&ip=192.168.18.150&port=13296&uploaded=35075634&downloaded=35075634&left=2241210207&numwant=200&key=9018&compact=1 HTTP/1.0" 404 0 "-" "Bittorrent"

None of these pages exist on my server. Does any one know what these requests are and why they sometimes come in so heavily to my server IP?
