You could try changing the port number.

Actually Im not using 4662 but another one, i only changed here to 4662 so you knew in which port the attack was happening... I might try to change it to something else and see what happens... Thanks!

Changing ports don't work for me :(
Please, have amuled something for limiting number of connections 'half open' as emule has?
I got that message in CVS 121207 firstly, its possible amuled being the guilty?
Thanks.
