Since I updated to 2.1 yesterday the wallet is using LOTS of network bandwidth. I let it run over night and this morning it was sending at a rate of nearly 100 kb/s. Perfmon is showing Bottlecaps connections with 5-15 kb/s. Debug log is full of getblocks. Deleting peers.dat and restarting wallet doesn't fix it. What can I do?
You can then ban that IP via your firewall.. I won't be doing this personally as I will be needing to send them alerts. But there is nothing to stop you from removing a peer you deem unreliable.
Banning bad peers via firewall worked, thanks. Are there plans to add some kind of peer blacklist to the wallet? Something like bannode=1.2.3.4.
The Extended Peer Information window has the advantage over getpeerinfo that it shows converted date/time but it has fixed size and the text box is very small. I had to copy&paste to notepad for comfortable reading, so a variable size window would be cool.
