My memory is not particularly strong on this, but if I understand correctly, one learns about other peers/ultrapeers from a field called 'X-try' or something in the header that's passed during the initial handshake between peers. One of my first suspicions about the 5.2.5.6 (Polska) ultrapeers, as I found it surprising that there were so many of them, was that they were ONLY passing the IP addresses of other '5.2.5.6 (Polska)' ultrapeers in the X-try field. I had intended to check this by using netcat to handshake with one of them while I was connected to it in the network, as an ultrapeer, in GTKG, to see if it reported my presence. Two things interfered. Firstly that it occurred to me that I might not be sent back my own IP address anyways, and secondly that I've been unable to track down the website that taught me how to initialize the handshake 'manually' by just send strings through with netcat. One could try it if one had two IP addresses available, though. Sorry for the confusion. If it's noise, apologies. - M.L. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
