5D1CECE8584FF507FF5EE44E3F5A5701 is being installed as
the default GUID at all locations. This breaks uploads
for all users who are firewalled, and confuses searches.
The 32 character unique identifier common to all gnutella
clients, as it is a vital part of the protocol since day one.
If you are a gnutella developer, you are very very familiar
with it.
If not, install giFT-gnutella 0.0.10.1 and then do a search
of all files for "5D1CECE8584FF507FF5EE44E3F5A5701" and you
should be able to figure it out. ;]

Neither. I'm running multiple copies of BearShare to ferret
out worms and spammers for the Fullsize Hostiles List and
this problem with the GUIDs just showed up suddenly today on
some of the downloads. I was tempted to add the offenders
to the List but I figured it was probably limited to just
the latest version and could be corrected more effectively here.
I have caught this exact same bug bug twice before, with
Morpheus, so I recognized it right away. If you know who is
responsible, give them a kick for me willya? Also, train
this servent to switch it's own GUID on the fly whenever it
sees a duplicate out there or on each startup and this will
never happen again. ;]
Where would I find these aforementioned 'genuises' anyway?
Do they hang out on a particular forum? I should mosey on
over there and give them a good public spanking for making
the same mistake I busted Morpheus for twice already. :D
By the way, does giFT accept a hefty host filter (Hostiles
List)? Mine is getting pretty effective lately for
BearShare users and LimeWire can just barely handle it, but
Shareaza is totally hopeless on that score. I'd like to see
what other servents I could cover. B)

The giFT-Gnutella code which handles this hasn't been
changed in well over a year. I am pretty confident that there
are no bugs.
The 'geniuses' are various people who mostly take KCeasy
and add spy/adware to make a quick buck. Naturally they
know nothing about giFT/Gnutella/anything and usually
distribute their own config files and even giFT logs to everyone.
Good luck tracking them down.
giFT-Gnutella has a file called hostiles.txt which can be used
to filter bad nodes by IP. I don't know how it performs for large
lists but my general experience with these blacklists is that
they are collected by paranoid freaks and contain mostly
ranges that shouldn't be in there.
If you have a clean list which only blocks nodes that behave
badly on file sharing networks I would be very interested in
where to get it.

Take a look at gt_guid.c. The GUID is randomized on first use
and then saved. Maybe you have been copying config files
between different installs?
Or you have been using a giFT-Gnutella package by one of
those geniuses who simply take their own installation and zip
it up.
