![]() Oops, just discovered that the address of the OrangeWire you posted falls into a blocked range on the LW Security Blocklist. Your listing does not show their port number, but it is my guess they use port 7001. Check this page http://www.gnutellaforums.com/open-d...imewire-7.html about half way down, the first black ip addresses you see where I found them via Phex. 66.212.143.104:7001 through to 66.212.143.116:7001 And the one shown uploading from you was 66.212.143.109 All belong to BMI (Broadcast Music, Inc.) and are known for upload slot containment (ie: will try to fill your upload slots & keep them busy, usually going after your largest files or largest collection of files. These are Download-Bots.) Here's my upload window from BearShare Click to see BearShare Upload window. Whilst using Phex I also had problems with same hosts since a year earlier filling my upload slots. In retrospect, I have doubts the WinMX Music versions you were seeing are official WinMX Music versions but adapted by the anti-file-sharing company to behave like they do (BOTs). Your uploads might not have had more of them because your uploads are super busy anyway & they struggled to get a slot. I've heard Vista firewall is same as Win XP firewall. If using Win 7 or later, the firewall has the ability to block ports such as 7001 and 27016 and can be set to be only active when using particular programs. (Port forwarding sometimes breaks/by-passes this firewall port block however!) The security blocklist has ip ranges blocked from 66.211.128.0 through to 66.213.191.255 (these are corporate business ranges, mostly in the entertainment industry.) If you think that's too heavy, you could either use 66.212.0.0/16 or 66.212.143.0/24 if you wish to block them. The port 7001 bots are not spammers AFAIK, their objective is to fill your upload-slots in an attempt to prevent you sharing certain files to others. |

![]() My port number for winmx is 38120 ; limewire 34772 ; frostwire 4.21.8 is 45630 ; frostwire 5.6.6 port is 55256 ; so that is good , all different ; but i have never selected these ports ; they just appear in the port options after i install any music sharing program . |

(Edit: The GTK-G (2007) is a browse-BOT you posted in post #16.) The meaning of BOT, scroll down to the malicious purposes section to get an idea what they are set to do. The BMI bots are designed to fill upload slots & download as much as possible. Other kinds of bots of course include spam-bots and DDoS bots. One type of spam-bot uses port 27016 and is probably the most prolific spammer on the Gnutella network. Quote:
Just a side note: UDP port checking is often unreliable because packets are often lost, so the program might show as being UDP firewalled when in fact it is not. On the other hand, TCP port tests are usually 100% reliable. BearShare 5 is a good example of unreliable UDP port tests. The program might show as being UDP firewalled immediately or after an hour but then an hour later be not firewalled. ie: the UDP test packets were lost during testing (not getting a response from the peer it sent the packet to.) BearShare 5 does UDP & TCP port tests periodically, I am not sure about LimeWire & other programs but would probably be similar. (One other reason for BearShare showing as UDP firewalled when it is not, is it sent the UDP test packets to firewalled hosts.) |
