Knowing that there are a few of you using the segmenting, I have some advice for you.
Watch the program to be sure it's working right, downloading fine, before you wander off and leave it. There's a guy trying tonight that I banned early on and has downloaded over 800 copies of me flipping him the bird, apparently oblivious to that fact.
Anyway. If you do segment, at the very least, keep it small. Someone setting it up to use five, ten, hell, even twenty connections, those I can ignore (though I wouldn't push it, five is plenty, and I don't limit bandwidth per connection so segmenting is really stupid anyway), but when my stats alert me to someone that's requested the download fifty times in three minutes, that's when the bans kick in.
If these kinds of guys continue, however, I'll stop hosting the damn things. So if any of you want the IPs of the offenders (oh, and some of them are you guys, we've tracked you down and are keeping an eye on you), I'll gladly post them and let you tear them to shreds. Or, the best some of you can manage, paw at them and whine that they stop or you'll hold your breath.
Thank you.
