Great thanks!

I use a specially equipped cluster of BearShare ultrapeers to scan the whole
network for all kinds of stuff like that. One of the features common to all recent
versions of BearShare is the ability to set minimum and maximum sizes in
searches. This comes in handy when searching for many of the common worms
and spam where the size is known but the filenames are unpredictable.

Which size is which?

What type of files are these? .mpg? .avi? .mov?

Oh, wait! There they are! Downloading now… ;]

Gotcha! The spam has an embedded link that would cause Quicktime to send
messages back to a hidden tracking server three times during playback.

I have that spammer blocked already in the Fullsize Hostiles List. In fact, I
decided to block all of their address space because no legitimate gnutella user
would have an internet account in there anyway.I heard about Skyrider months ago, when they first announced their plan to
spam gnutella, and blocked their host, Go Daddy Software, Inc pre-emptively.

Looks like I guessed right.

If you have LimeWire 4.13 you can use my [ fullsize hostiles list] to protect
yourselves. Odds are high my blocks on all of Go Daddy will block this stuff.

If you want to firewall their asses too, here are their current ranges:
Go Daddy Software, Inc:64.202.160.0-64.202.191.255
Go Daddy Software, Inc:68.178.128.0-68.178.255.255
Go Daddy Software, Inc:208.109.0.0-208.109.255.255
Go Daddy Software, Inc:216.69.128.0-216.69.191.255

If you really want to burn their plan use Media Player Classic to watch all .mov
files from now on. It has none of those security backdoors so that spammer
will never get to track you.

The trailer for Pride was pretty good, by the way. Definitely a movie you'd
take the girlfriend to see.

Note to the Skyrider folks: You'll get a lot further in your business plan if you
just avoid flooding people's searches. Keep it down to just a few sources at a
time and people won't get angry at you for what amounts to sabotage of their
ability to use the network you are trying to depend upon.

Play nice or get out of our sandbox.

I downloaded limewire 4.13 but I can't find where to put the hostiles.txt file. I do not have a .limewire folder anywhere on my computer. I installed limewire to the D: not the C: but like I said I can't find a .limewire folder anywhere.

START/My Computer/local disc C:/ Documents & settings/Your User Name/Application Data/LimeWire.

If you cant find Application Data Folder,GO to Tools/folder Opions,& tick,show hidden folders,
You can put the setting back afterwoods to protect your computer.

It also depends on which operating system you have. Search your
disk for "limewire.props" and that's where you want to put the list.

In Windoze, look for "C:\Documents and Settings\You\.limewire"
(Note that it's not in the Application Data folder and starts with a dot.)

I'm using windows xp home. Searching my disk for "limewire.props" returned no result. I put the Hostiles.txt file in Application Data/Limewire, though, and it appears to have fixed the problem (same as the original poster's problem). So I'm happy now, thanks guys.
