That's possible. I've also noticed many incoming connection attempts
from Foxy peers.

It's rather the other way around. I don't see a noticable amount of outgoing
connections but a steady stream of incoming connections.

It's quite possible that some cache spoiling is going on but I doubt this
happens through ghostwhitecrab. Foxy has actually it's own GWebCaches listed at
gcachescan.jonatkins.com. The ones using FTWebCache and jumswebcache are
apparently dedicated to Foxy.

Looking at the requests rates, use of GWebCaches and GDNA under the hood,
tells me the Foxy "developers" screwed up on an epic level just like those
Morpheus guys years ago.

Nonetheless, the quality of GWC/UHC responses is, in fact, very poor. Many
reported peers are fakes, spammers and zombies. Though that's just a mirror of
the network which doesn't look any better.
