I've been noticing a lot of repeated denial of service type queries that are at the level where they don't trigger the autoban. I am assuming they are DOS because they occur together in cyclic sequence. These are terms like: "asf", ".asf", ".mpg", "jpg", ".jpg", ".avi", etcetera.

I've added them manually to be blocked. It's easy enuf to manually add them each time I fire up gnotella, but it would be nice to have them saved. Yeah, I know, abuse will occur as long as blocking is allowed. But having gnotella forget after 60 seconds will not stop automated re-adding of terms. The best thing to prevent casual DOS by network vandals is to not allow wildcards and require exact matches. And to set a limit on the number of banned items or else you will have someone entering 1000 lines into the banned list like "gnutella.zip", "file.rar", you get the drift.
