No more snooping by Bearshare's browser

Noticed the browser window in Bearshare automatically connects to bearshare.net? This way Vinnie is able to count the users individually by IP numbers.

If you do not want Bearshare's browser to connect to bearshare.net/.com when starting the program, put this in your HOSTS file:

0.0.0.0 onflow.bearshare.com
0.0.0.0 home.bearshare.com
0.0.0.0 onflow.bearshare.net

alternatively use 127.0.0.1 instead of 0.0.0.0 if you get problems.
