I have someone who is downloading a rather large file (over 600 MB), but this person already has more than ten copies of the same file already (I know this with browse host). In fact, this is the only file this person has in their share. Should I be concerned about people trying to sabotage my ability to share files?

dunno - I'd be suspicious I was about to get a letter from the MPAA though.

What have you done Ferral

I'm not too concerned about that but I have seen others with 10+ copies of the exact same file and could not think of a legitimate reason for it. Do you think I should start blocking these people?

If it scares you then to be safe delete it

If its a keeper then burn it first, and hide it amongst the rest of your junk in the attic or give it to a friend for a while

Sounds quite strange to me to say the least

Thanks for the replies. I am still thinking about blocking these hosts, but there seems to be a good many, unless there is a bug reporting the number of files? I am mostly concerned about people not having access to my files if there are people out there doing this.

Possibly your looking at the IP address of a router, like at a uni or somewhere, that uses 192 or 110 series IP addresses for their internal network. Quite common in dorms etc, where a bunch of blokes will use a wireless network to share one paid for broadband service.
