Yes, George. But it's used when, as you say, you fire up the client and
connect. What Finntroll is saying is that he could theoretically enter any
offending IP's into his Hosts file and presumably redirect them to 127.0.0.1
(the localhost) so that the next time he connects THEY wouldn't be able to.
To be honest, he'd be better off using PeerGuardian, or entering them
directly into his firewall. Of course, there's always anti-leeching tools.
Hi, George!
