    Blocking specific morpheus users...is my firewall the answer?

    I need a way to block specific users on Morpheus (those who leach my files and share nothing with the rest of the community) from downloading from me. I've tried 'cancel upload', but that doesn't stop the person from reinitiating the transfer in a matter of seconds. Am I not seeing a really simple way to do this, or would I have to implement a firewall solution?

    I use Zone Alarm pro, so I could add a user to the restricted computers list, but how would I easily get someone's IP address?

    Any help much appreciated.

    my suggestion would be to wait until one of these users you want to block is the only one downloading something. then use a packet sniffer to inspect packets for destination.

    my opinion is it does go through a server since u have a logging name and since it keeps status of every user
