There seems to be at least one non-LimeWire host (or a modified LimeWire host) that is apparently still sending alternate locations for your http server. Are there other computers using the same address?
I am sure I have never run any gnutella on port 80.
I have static IP-address, which has been the same for over two years, so unless someone has hacked my machine, which I doubt, noone should have used this IP-address and port 80 with any gnutella client.

I also asked on gtk-gnutella mailing list, if it could be a bug in it. Seems like now after few hours I shut the gtk-gnutella down, those requests in 80/tcp port becomes more seldom.
