someone keeps requesting my shared files list (disabled). about every 15-20 hours. appears to be an MLDonkey v.2.8.1 user. I can't find the user in the 'known clients' list.
why is this?

He's probably banned, that's why he's not in the lists.

Ok but anything I should do about it? While it probably doesn't cause any harm, does it?

Nah! Just ignore him. He's not getting anything, except getting himself banned, of course.

ok. Why would someone do that?
Is it possible to filter this specific log comment out, because i've been getting the message for weeks now, quite annoying. But I do not want to disable any other log messages.

That is probably a 'feature' in some very old MLDonkey clients. Works fine with other MLDonkeys, I suppose, but rather annoys everyone else. The newer versions don't seem to have this.

If he has the same IP address all along, (static IP), you can put that IP address in your IPfilter.dat (open the file in your config folder with Wordpad and add the entry in the proper format).

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx-xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,060,file requester

<IP address>-<IP address>,<level>,<comment>

Use the same IP address twice (the format is for a range of IPs).

Now you shouldn't see him at all (after a restart), but that means you won't download from him either.

Ok but the problem is that the person is not in the "known clients" list so I don't have any info, except the frequent message in the log that my files were requested. I don't get any message that the person is blocked either.
