A couple of links that I found, after googling the senders' email addresses: www.scamwarners.com • View topic - New SPAM - Legal Notice


Warning: Obama Personal Law Firm Perkins Coie Fraudulent Court Appearance Email | Obama Birthplace Controversy

And some more general info: 'Notice to Appear in Court" Malware Emails

Don't worry about those emails closeshot - just scumbags at it again

Just remember never to open any attachments or click on links within an email unless you're sure they are safe

Most likely it will be a BOT! There are BOTs that browse new hosts to the network to investigate their details. I have not been using the network much of late so don't know that one by psuedo name.
I think I hinted to you before about finding those who are or who have connected to you. MaOSX has Console which gives a big clue to all hosts connected to LW via its firewall activity stats of who it allows, listing their address, date & time.
I found most browser BOTs of the kind you suggested are either Japanese or have an ip address starting with 50.x.x.x
I normally add them to the LW blocklist when I've realised they are consistent as you suggested. They normally browse you within the first 5 mins of connecting. Some may browse robotically every 10-20 mins thereafter, but LPE does not show that (LW4 did.)

Limewire 5.3.6


do you still advise netstat as the best way for hp vista people to identify full ip address and their ports ??

I'm not a windows expert, but there is Netstat. Sleepless suggested Wireshark, but as I commented earlier, this program has a definite learning curve to it.
LW 5 hides uses psuedo names instead of listing the address. The numbers are usually the last digits in their real address. Unless I'm mistaken, LW 5.3.6 does give option to find their ip address but cannot remember if that only applies to downloads or also uploads. ie: right-click the file & choose View Info & then the Transfer tab.

I think FrostWire & WinMX both allowed you to see their ip address. Might need to enable that in the upload window table view column options.

Below is a link to an updated version of LimeWire Pirate Edition based on the metapirate source.

Code:
ChangeLog:
-This release of LW Pirate Edition is for Windows OS x86.
-Increased number of connection from 5 to 10 when not an ultrapeer.
-Replaced the ugly splash screen of the metapirate LW Pirate Edition.
-Updated LimeWire.exe to work with Java 1.7.
-Removed the code that deletes the Gnutella.net if 30 days old!
-Linked the "Home Screen" to {Installdir}\lib\LimeHome.xhtml so it can be easily personalized.

WTG BigJx, the community thanks you. I'm away for a couple more weeks but will update links when I return.

Likewise I recently found the portion of the code that dealt with the 30 day deletion of the gnutella file. I had sent a PM to File_Girl in reference to it.
One other thing that stuck in my mind was the Linux version had no problems opening directly with Java 1.7, but both the Windows & MacOSX versions did/do.
There would have been a few other changes I would have made. Re: java memory, reduced frequency of UHC calls & instead increased connection cache size (I found where this is in the code), & a few other things I won't mention now. (There are many less UHC's & GWC's around now compared to 4 years ago & the remaining ones are under a lot of pressure of requests. So this change might mean a slightly slower connecting time but a much more reliable connection process.)
Installer/uninstaller with firewall rule addition or removal for the program.

Not sure what the GTK-Gnutella & Phex devs would think of a leaf with 10 peers. This will mean a much greater demand for more ultrapeers to cater for it. If there are no more ultrapeers to cater, then it will mean peer slots will be harder to find for those first connecting to the network. Just thought I'd point out this simple logic.
I suspect you will find the ratio increase in search results compared to increased peers for a leaf is not very large.
Still many people around the world (even in Western countries) who still use dial-up connections. Connecting to 10 ultrapeers would probably mean higher bandwidth 'Overhead' & thus less bandwidth available for downloading or uploading.

If I got to the point of compiling, personally I'd have renamed the application & removed all references to LimeWire & changed the logo, due to LimeWire being copyright & under a court distribution restriction in the USA.

BTW I suspect it might have been a good option to zip the file instead of offering it as an exe download. Also not sure why the download link is sub-linked to social media sites instead of a plain simple download. I'm not a member of any of those social sites.

Lord of the Rings,

After reading your post above I downloaded the WireShare source code and migrated my fix-ups to it. I removed all references to LimeWire & changed the logo as you suggested. I also changed to leaf connections back to 5 (I don't want to upset the GTK-Gnutella & Phex devs) and added the firewall exception to the installer.

If you pm me what the specifics for changes you would like made and where in the code it is located, I would be happy to incorporate them.

I thank you sir for your input,
BigJx

I updated the link for the file in the previous LPE post:

Great work BigJx!
I'll be away on my trip for another two weeks, but after I return I will send you a private message with the information I'd suggest for some other changes/improvements.

In the meantime, would it be possible to:
(1) Offer this WireShare installer as a zipped 'Offline' installer?
(All data within the installer itself. The installer zipped & downloadable directly from 4Shared. Files hosted at 4Shared can be updated without the download links needing to be changed.)
(2) Offer your re-adjusted WireShare source code work?
(You can send me a link to download this in a private message if you would prefer.)

Which Java version did you compile this in may I ask?

I presume you can only work on the Windows version? If so, unless someone else volunteers, I'll look at transferring the changes to the Linux & MacOSX versions if I am able to set up a proper Java dev environment & compile properly.
