Lately I have noticed there are a lot of downloads at 10 hosts, however I have noticed by browesing them and my download speed, which usually is very good, That there are a few people that are somehow stealing my bandwidth and are not even giveing me the files that I am downloading. I have found one ip in particular that is obviously not there ip it is *.*.*.*:****, when i click on this host it gives me a different ip from the one I want to block . I would appreciate some support please I am not fond of people that are hacking. Thank you in advance

You should try using PeerGuardian 2. It works like a mini firewall for while your using p2p apps. They maintain block lists that block unwanted ip's.

Thanks for that but some of the ips are obviously fake. But i will give it a try.

There are organized groups/companies who's job it is to disrupt file sharing communities. Using pg2 should help block some of them.

I tried peerguardian and my system would crash.(xp pro sp2.) so I had too go without.

did you download the version for PeerGuardian 2 for Windows 2000/XP/2003

I think so have too look I still have install.why is it better?

If it doesn't make your system crash, I'd say it's better
