knm Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Hiya,Just have a quick question, been using Utorrent for a longest time and love it. I have been making music torrent lately and have been seeding successfully until last night, when strange event happened. After uploading the torrent to it's tracker, I noticed there were only 5 peers, and two of them were downloading normaly. I went for a smoke come back and noticed that it went from 5 peers to 101. I realized this can't be normal, and when I looked at the list, it was some fake IP 209XXX and I was flooded.I turned the torrent off, and I knew it wasn't completely seeded from me. When I went to Torrent Site, it had 16 S and 101 L. I notified the torrent site moderator and he deleted it. My question is, was I flooded? Is that normal? Is there anyway to pevent it? I am new to seeding and like I said, it has never happened to me before.Any help in this matter would be appreciated.Cheersknm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 You should have also reported the ips (and any apparent ip ranges if any) to them so they could ban them from their trackers. ...and you should probably add those ips/ip ranges to your ipfilter.dat!
