I get these from time to time.

Does anyone know who the hell arkadi and kitty are? Be they friend or foe?

A quick googling found this:



... alas my understanding of Polish is zero, so I wasn't able to decipher the context on the page.

I'd say it's just usual spam bullshit you get from time to time, nothing of any importance.

And out of curiosity, what's that stuff in Polish? I think I could help with that.

normally leech/spam emule clients. If you check the no spam option it blocks it. You might want to update to a mod that filters out known leech mods.

Thanks for that. I had a suspicion it was the same kind of junk I used to get on IM clients ... but better safe than sorry, etc, etc.

The Polish I was having trouble with is:

... from http://mp3.com.pl/nowosci/news_n993.html

Oh I see.... The news on the page is basically about a French company RetSpan, who created some software named "PeerFactor" (I heard something about it some time ago, but forgot ). They apparently award (up to 125 euro per month) people, who spread fakes on p2p networks and encourage that widely, but at the same time they record all info on their "workers" and ther IPs and the p2p traffics on them (as they say, "just in case"). They boast at having 300-400 of such "workers", since they started that PeerFactor shit at 4th of April this year and that - according to the boss - thanks to them "soon there'll be so much fakes on p2p that it will be impossible to find legit files".

What that guy is quoting is that he got this spam message and since he didn't know what it's about, he replied "what's going on", but never got an answer (maybe because it's apparently an automated message). He also says that he wouldn't turn the eMule off anyway and that he thought somebody was trying to scare him away from it or something.

And that's about it.
