Well I'd also considered (not made up mind) allowing static IP's only. That would keep things broadband for better ratios, plus also allow .htaccess to "deny all" excluding those we do allow. That might hurt DSL, but I'm cable and my IP has been the same for over a year.... until 2 days ago when I switched NIC's.

There are other ways to do it without banning dynamic IPs - the vast majority of legitimate customers. Using SSL for authentication, and with session management at the tracker level can ensure the identity of the IPs in the swarm. This would ensure accurate ratios, while disallowing unknown IPs from joining. As an IP changes, a script on the client can re-register on the tracker...

So how would I know who's who? If anyone can join and use it from any IP they choose, how do I know anti-p2p etc is verboten?
