In the past few day I have noticed my number of avaiable hosts has dropped significantly. I use to connect to well over 3000 now I am lucky I can connect to 500. I looked upnde the connect tab and now seee many IP with a vendor name of morpheusOS and Gnucleus. I also notice almost no messages going in and out with regards to thos IP's. When I remove them I notice the number of hosts starts climbing signicicantly but after a while when some of my hosts drop I end up again with the above vendor and very few avaible files. Is there a way to block certain vendor/IP's. I did notice you can block individual IP but that could take all day. I would love to share with people who have that but I can't download a thing when they are conencted.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks
