Hi, Folks.
During a recent session, I noticed an unusual entry in my logs from gtk-gnutella. In about 25 hours, I received 117 messages from Shareaza servents, indicating that they might be banning me. During the period that this was happening, I was offering 137 large files to the gnet, and trying to download a single large (700MB+) file. I know of no reason why this should happen, and was a little alarmed by the message.
Is this normal, or is it an indication that something is going on. The system was running unattended, so there was no interference by the user with the normal operation of the client.
The version was gtk-gnutella 0.93u, plus gtk+2 /glib2 ver. 2.2.3, with the source coming from a snapshot taken from CVS about a week ago Friday. I've not seem any operational problems with this version. And it obviously stays running without any problems, other than this one.
Can anyone elighten me why this message is being logged? The actual message text is:
Date.Time (warning): server "Shareaza 1.8.9.xx " at IP.ADDRESS:port might be banning us - where 'xx' in the message can be various values.
An I mentioned, my log, which covers about 25 hours, has 117 of these entries, and all of them come from Shareaza. No other software is causing these messages. Considering that I might have been locked out from 117 sources that I was trying to download from, I consider this a serious problem, if it is a 'real' problem, and not just an erronious message.
Thanks,
--Carl
