Yes, they dropped 0.4 handshake support (with 0.6, it's just tha handshake that changed). Some clients will continue to support 0.4 though.

Block 'em
 

If you would like to block bearshare, I recommend <A HREF="http://opensourcep2p.sf.net">thie Gnucleus client</A> or the gtk-fr(gn)utella client on that page, which does a less efficient job at telling Vinnie to get stuffed.

hoho....i think..u got me wrong :-O
 

hey nos....good humour...but...i meant....blocking bad clients....which some recording industry....must have put on...for slowing down the network...for eg:-
by flooding the net with pings.what should my client check for..?? i mean the 0.6 protocol solves this to some extent...and u can check for vendor specific...GUID's .Any other method to do this ?...
CHill and happy hacking.....:-)
