i see my self in "show UL" (aMule 2.2.1)
« on: June 24, 2008, 05:11:54 PM »

in amulecmd "show UL" and amuleweb uploads i see my hostname downloading random file from me.
to check it i tried 15 unique hostames, but the problem persists.

aMulecmd$ show UL

(in this case my name is "Gumunkulator3000")
is this a bug?
is this UL connection consuming bandwith?

There are username clones in the network that bounce back to you the same username you have as their username. They do so to try and benefit of community mods.
