one of the problems is that a whois won't always correspond an anti p2p group with the host/isp that the whois lists but i share your concern reality

Then as discussed, make it a user option perhaps, so that names are OFF by default, this fixes ALL, and also keeps the alarmist at bay.

Also ddd, nice effort on everything else.

yeah the option is a good idea- forgot to mention that lol- just putting my usual disclaimer on things....

thanks

If as you say users are emptying folders because of this, then it would be a better idea to go for option 1, but is the idea not to alert you when attacks like this happen?

[Big_Boss]

What does it actually mean when it blocks a connection, say from Univeral Studios. I know they are trying to connect but for what. It cant be to get your IP, they have that to connect to you.

Please can someone clarify this

You would still be alerted with the IP that was blocked along with a whois link if you wanted additional information, though without the Boogie Man names which can be very inaccurate at times, just simply spooking people.

Well, I think we need to keep the boogieman part, and I'm not just being a comedian here Reality. Come on, you people let's vote for option #2. At least it peeks your interest in who's out there looking in.

BTW don't forget to go over to PG and seed the guys some $$ via PayPal.

THE FILE SHARING MANIFESTO

So now the music industry greedheads want to play rough. What’s the matter, their coke dealer won’t front anymore? Those techno-ghouls have been living high on the hog for the past 100 years and now they’re upset because the river of gold is down 10%. If they want to play rough, so can we. The only reason they can afford to pay their lawyers is because we all still buy CDs.

There is only one proper response to the file sharing attack – a complete and total boycott of all new recorded music purchases. Imagine if you got a summons in the mail. We must support our file sharing brothers and sisters. I SAY NO PURCHASES OF ANY NEW CDS OR DOWNLOADS UNTIL THEY CHANGE THE LAW ON FILE SHARING!! If you want music go to a show, or buy or trade used CDs.

Copy this and spread the word! :rtfm:

Okay, I'll change it and make sure users know it's just suspected to be a certain company.

I will add the whois linking ability in the program and yeah..

there are protected ranges, I'll be adding an admin system to that feature too so that other admins can protect ranges.

If your courious to read it you can do so at...
