Are they spying on file sharers more than ever ?
« on: September 25, 2005, 06:54:20 pm »
I connected to winmx as a secondary. I've been sharing some files. Once I noticed that there are very much alerts in the PeerGuardian's log, e.g. Globix. About 10-20 alerts were coming in a minute !
I don't think they are only flooders, because flooders connect to primaries only (if I'm right).
And, after that I unshared my files, there were no alerts anymore !

They really dont care whether you share or not Mr X.

This company hosts many of these flooding servers and their job is to upload fake file list ,no file transfers will take place, just leaving searchers with the infamous "timed out" notice.

Also as many will testify when a search is made for something like "free", a common enough search term you would think, you will be hit by a denial of service attack from compromised primaries,
is this really the actions of a responsible company ?  

I think its true to see who the real criminals are, denial of service attacks are actionable in many countries.  :!:
