Can someone in this icecast list tell me why, after steaming a shoutcast server for some time, a 69.46.29.165 ip address has started and keeps pinging my port 8000 every couple of seconds 24 hours a day 7 days a week? It's from muon.cygnus-1.org, and the isp is hivelocity.net or hivelocity ventures corporation. Funny, whenever my shoutcast server comes alive, that same 69.46.29.165 turns into icecast 2.2 making a connection to my shoutcast server and acting as an icecast relay. I am now in the icecast directory. But the icecast directory doesn't appear to be able to refresh whatever my stream information shows, since I change it 3 or 4 times a day. If icecast needs to ping me every few seconds 24 hours a day 7 days a week, maybe they should learn how to update their directory on my stream. I didn't think open source collaborators were so big brotherish. hmm, very interesting... I'm very supportive of open source software and use a heap of it myself, but I don't like being pinged every 2 seconds 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Stop it, Damn It! Hmm, looks like cygnus-1.org has something to do with a Nathan Grennan, who seems to have some linux ties and TWiki ties and other such things. Is there a good reason that 69.46.29.165 / muon.cygnus-1.org / icecast has to ping me every few seconds 24 hours per day 7 days per week just to see if my shoutcast server is running? Isn't there a better way to do this sort of thing? I would be happy to direct my shoutcast server to icecast's directory as well as it's current configuration for the shoutcast directory. Any clues out there? Maybe I should have a clue, but I can't stop the pinging. Should I consider myself under attack from Nathan Grennan or Icecast? One has to wonder. Until then, you can bounce off my firewall till your face turns blue, except when I'm running the server, of course. Robert Reed

It's presumably some third-party trying to relay your stream - you should get in contact with whoever's running it - we can't help you ourselves. Perhaps next time you might take a less antagonistic tone when you have some issue with someone who is using our software (someone we know absolutely nothing about)? Mike

It's clear to me that someone is trying to relay your content (without your authorization) and you deduce that since it appears in our directory, that we are causing it. That is flat out wrong, and you might want to do some checking next time before you come out and accuse people you really don't even know of something devious. as far as your problem goes...I'd suggest you do some googling on "Net Abuse". oddsock
I do not understand his problem! See it al from the bright site! Almost Everybody with a stream has lack of bandwith, you are getting it free, from someone who probably thinks you have a great stream and relays it for personal use, and you can benefit from it as well.
