Mike, do you have any more information about this?  If the hub is issuing
the redirect, changing the default to off is a decent solution.  If
individual users are somehow issuing a direct to DC++, I'd like to
understand how, in case there's a more effective fix.

Do you know of particular hubs, or specific hub software/client version
pairs, or anything that would allow someone to reproduce it?
