This post is obviously a troll.. please close. Notice the poster is using some broken firewall/antivirus program for windows that claims g2gui is "susceptible to data miners, tunneling past routers and firewalls, privacy apps etc."

This is not the g2gui support, please report bugs for this app
here: http://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?group_id=610

There is a currently maintained fork of g2gui:
http://sancho-gui.sourceforge.net/

There are many crappy routers out there which can“t even open
150 connections at the same time so tuning down the values was
the right way to do.

Both apps do not contain code which results in the behaviour.

Which MLDonkey core version are you using on W2K? Do you have
any bugs/problems with it which you could not find here?
If not I will close this bug.

First let me tell you that I&#8217;m a network & systems analyst from old school ,, that&#8217;s 20 plus yrs kids.

After a hassle of an install on Win2k box I ran into further problems: YES the ports and settings were done correctly!

On first run I find so many connections were started that my router went down. > tuned them down some.
With tuned down settings router still went down; tried 5 more routers ,, same story.

g2gui-0.3.0 crashes on any other java app being started. Ie Visualroute etc. actually crashes all java apps.

Now we get to interesting parts; for 3 frikin&#8217; yrs I&#8217;ve had no SPAM on this box, then as soon as I install this junk all hell breaks loose. This tells me mldonkey and or g2gui-0.3.0 is susceptible to data miners, tunneling past routers and firewalls, privacy apps etc.

With the number of vulnerabilities found I&#8217;m not even going to bother sending packet capture files!

I think you ppl better recode these proggies for much safer use or you&#8217;re going to have a war on your hands.

Do you ppl ever test these things on systems you intend to use &#8216;em on?

Let me remind you code is still around that will crash/nuke every device no matter what kind of silly linux/bsd box you&#8217;re using or general protection. This includes CPU&#8217;s, motherboards, keyboards, HD&#8217;s, any EPROM/EEPROM, cache, buffers etc.
And my favorite; monitors! [will explode cathode to cover 15 ft.]

Show some respect for general users or pay the consequences!
