I have noticed that BTCD wallet is consuming a lot of bandwidth, I'm using more that a gig a day way more than any other wallet I'm running or have run.......is this normal?

Jon

No, it is not.

maybe in next release devs can add traffic monitor
https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin/blob/master/src/qt/trafficgraphwidget.cpp

there are a few rogue nodes that somehow got a hold of a test version that had debug packet sending and this is probably causing higher load
so if anybody downloaded from the dev repository, that is bad version, please get new one or just run the official release

thanks
Is there any way to remove said rogue nodes, still using to much data. I'm on satellite and only get 30 gig a month and once I've used it that's it, I struggle to even get email

Jon
I think we need to have the person(s) running the rogue nodes to stop, we will put in better blacklisting moving forward

1408490755000000 from 94.243.246.1:14631 retstr.(`?6?)

1408490768000000 from 24.253.222.103:52238 retstr.(`?6?)

the rogue nodes are running on IP addresses: 94.243.246.1 and 24.253.222.103
there are up to four at a time and the IP addresses are changing. you are running debug versions that are no good. Please revert to official release.
