Shareaza

I don't know what you did, but DC++ suddenly isn't working, as of sometime in the last couple of hours. My connection to my usual DC++ hub dropped, without my permission or any causative action on my part, and all attempts to reconnect are getting a "refused" response from that hub. This suggests my IP is banned for some reason, even though I've done nothing wrong. Worse, resetting DHCP to get a new IP didn't circumvent the problem.

What the hell is going on and how do I put things back the way they were a few hours ago, when everything was more-or-less working??

It spontaneously returned to normal about an hour later.

Still, my general impression is that Shareaza's hub connectivity is gradually becoming less stable month by month.

It's not Shareaza's fault, it's YOUR HUB!.
