I don't think this is a solution to the bug in question .<br>
Redirects are meant to be followed. DC++ is user client not operator
client. <br>
Most users have no idea what redirect is and they don't care. <br>
If by default you disable the follow redirects, then the whole redirect
system may crash.<br>
Users won't try to find out what's happening. They would be
reconnecting over and over to all the hubs they were redirected from.<br>
I don;t think the normal user cares what hub it's in, he/she just want
to download, so banned users or kicked or whatever have to go somewhere.<br>
The consequences of this action could be disastrous on long term<br>

the spammers hub. Little patch to make 'Auto follow Redirects'
disabled by default.<br>
