Does EDonkey download by any chance PublicHubList.config.bz2 files from servers for hub lists? I don't know e-donkey well enough though, however I do know I used to run suck a list on my server, but stopped it in January this year. Since then I still get hammered to death sometimes for a file that isn't even on my server, and when I say hammered, I mean thousands of hits per hour. Since yesterday I put this "list" back up to get rid of these users, however the list is jigged, and crashes DC++ *evil grin* ;-) Yes it sounds cruel, but if people still haven't realised this, and still choose to flood a server with requests for a file that is long gone, it's their choice. Maybe MLdonkey is downloading it too? I doubt it, but it a possibility I think (maybe). Check your options or whatever for the entry on http://axljab.homelinux.org:8080/PublicHubList.config.bz2 , and if it's there, get rid of it immediately ;-) This file, being *jigged* is very small compressed (less that 2KB now), but uncompressed it's 450MB's, and will eat your system resources like a cupcake :P Sounds cruel doesn't it, but after months of blocking abusers with my firewall, and trying to contact people from hubs abusing this, I give up. This seems the only way I can do it. Greetings Ralph -- http://axljab.homelinux.org:8080/ "...the software said Win95 or better, so I installed Linux"
