Auto-kill Hammering DL'ers

I had to stop sharing all my pr0n goodness because a few dozen clients were hammering my system every few seconds.

If a client fails to connect (*especially* if it results in a File Not Found error!!) more than x times in a minute, LW should ban their IP address automatically.

No warnings, no nothing. Just refuse any communication. Hopefully people running those clients will give up hammering the best servers and play nice.

I don't consider this too much of a loss, however many clients trying to download should not pose a problem for LimeWire.

Well, you would receive the requests anyway and they would be discarded by LimeWire as they are discarded now.
