Leaves with Leaves?

[soul1355]

I haven't been spending enough time at my computer recently to be elivated to Hub while I'm still awake enough to be doing anything with it, but Just now, but today I got on early, and just noticed I've.. been Hubbed? anyway, I skimmed the leaf list and almost 20% or so of the leaves had 300 or so leaves of their own. having just read Old_Deaths post about limiting hub-hub connections, I was wondering whats going on, and if I should do anything about it? they're all shareaza as well btw.
EDIT: intrestingly, I looked closer, and aside from my one peer connection, all the leaves show as shareaza 2.5.0.0. is it a false client maybe? or was it a bug, and I happen to have stumbled uppon some dark corner of the G2 network where nobody knows there's been an update?

So in fact other Hubs do connect to you as Leaves? That's strange indeed. Seems like either there is a bug within the network management or within the GUI.

yeah, either I was collecting hubs as leaves, or it was some client that pretended to be shareaza that somehow reported being a leaf to hubs, but being a hub to other leaves. I'll keep an eye out and let you know if I see it again.
it seems odd it would be the GUI though, because the leaves shown were consistently connected to the same "leaves" and I did have at least one actual hub-hub connection. and I have been a hub before with a more normal default-300-leaves and a few hubs connected without anything like this, I don't remember if it was before the last update or not though...
also, 20% may have been a bit more than what it actually ended up being, but there were quite a few.

Provide screenshots please.

After firing up my Shareaza as a Hub, I could quickly catch 2 such Leaf-Hubs. Here's the proof:


(I will post an other image once I have also found the most recent version connecting to me in leaf mode.)

Try to get a screenshot of the node that reports it. Just go to that ip using a browser.
