It's possible to see ~10 connections, or at least unskilled users think they do: When you start netstat or a similar tool you see many connections, closed or half closed. Kayaman is right (of course hehe), the problems are users which can install colored network sniffer but don't know how to interpret the results, TCP states, protocols. Unregistered, please install any other Gnutella client to feel similar experience and please stop badmouthing Xolox. Of course it is always okay to ask friendly when you wonder about something...

I do not condom Child Pornography, but what even scares me more is people that are given a small amount of knowledge and tools that they know little about and jump to big unsubstantiated conclusions and then try to tell the world they are correct. I consider you Mr Unregistered more dangerous then Child Pornography and I loathe Child Pornography. In your so-called Moral Crusade you have shown the world your ignorance and idiocy (stupidity in case you have problems with the word). If you want to go after people I suggest you seek legal advice first or you may find yourself on the wrong end of the Judicial System. Do not blame a program that you apparently do not comprehend for something that morally offends you. You Mr Unregistered with your ignorance morally offend me and I do not blame XoloX for your ignorance.

The people on this forum have been kind and patient with you; I on the other hand have learned through experience that they are wasting their time with someone like you. Get a life and go play somewhere else, or if you do not completely understand something, ask first before you jump to unsubstantiated conclusions.

What scares me is my computer is being used to aid the distribution of Chld Pornography with the assistance of Xolox and I dont get a choice if I was to continue to use this rubbish program.

Xolox in not something I want on my computer!!!

Thank You Mr Unregistered for bringing this out in the light of day.

Shocked

re: latest post
That is pretty comical, really it is. You are also 'mr. unregistered' ; and its funny how all the mud slinging usually comes from an 'unregistered' person. The last post of 'unregistered' you should go back and re-read some of the other replies. I think this thread . . .*yawn*, yes gotten boring with the retarded statements by people with no idea what they are claiming.

Let me guess, Next you are going to tell us that because some other user on your ISP shares something as bad as child porn ( or a file with such a title but unless you download you really don't know what it is, do you?) it will make your ISP be part of facilitating in the distribution and YOU in turn for supporting that ISP with a monthly bill.

I respect the opinions being stated and appreciate the concern, but what is being said to me sounds like an attempt to flame XoloX with some non-sense or true ignorance. If the latter then no post would change your mind so this thread is more then exhausted with attempts to explain it to you.

Yes you dou it with every other client too...

but as Kayaman said you and the others have no clue how Gnutella works, so get some infos and complain here about it but don´t tell tales...

Morgwen

some unregistered were a shame for me as 'unregistered'.
Xolox is not bad as far as we know yet, get it Mr unregistered.

Some one just sent a http request on port 80 for a file that has 'porn' in the name. I'm calling Microsoft right now. This behavior can not be tolerated. How dare they condone porn by allowing requests like that to be made to my computer.

After you finish talking to MS look in the white pages under Mental Hospital and call to see if they have any available space. If you are lucky enough you may find one with standards low enough to accept you. I can see now why you spend your time on the computer annoying people; no one in their right mind would wants to spend any time with you. You really should see a professional and have your head examined, assuming that you have one.

Thats a search. SOMEBODY ELSE SEARCHED FOR THAT. It then queried YOUR computer to see if you have any results for it. Your computer then replies to it.

If you're gonna use a packet sniffer, at least learn about how a protocol works.

Just a note on file names. There are apparently thousands, if not millions at this stage, of p2p users who rename their files with paragraph long titles so it gets a hit, and though its mostly movies I've seen it for songs as well. For whatever reason people add everything they can think of so its not unlikely to see a file such as "britney spears topless!!! mp3mpeg aviasfxxx pornpreteenkiddyrapegay.avi.avi.mpeg" etc, and the files are generally much longer than this. What the file is I don't know, maybe its a picture of Britney Spears in the buff, maybe its of Bill Gates, maybe its Barney the Dinosaur, none of these names anything to do with porn, or rape or kiddy porn. If you happen to download an innocent file with such a title rename it, do everyone a favor. If its offensive or illegal, do us all a favor and delete it, don't share it. Thats the best thing we can do as sharers. The authorities are working hard to stop illegal activities, let them do their job, I'm sure they have better things to do then knock on millions of doors because a file was downloaded or seen with a suspicious title, they need to stop those committing the crimes which in turn will stop those supporting them.
