You can also just look at the version number of the node. If it's between the versions that had the bug, there's your issue.
It's rather strange, when connecting to the local client it all works nicely, it's only when trying to connect to remote clients, which means I cannot check it as easily.
Not asking for the addresses helps and most connections will survive
Still trying to reproduce the error
Edit: sorry for hijacking the thread, I'll create a new one if needed ^^

If it's flood protection you can see a message in the logs stating that it was that.
I wonder whether my problem with my own implementation applies here. I seem to get disconnected when asking other peers for their known peers:
Directly afterwards I have to disconnect because I lost sync (probably I'm just noticing late that I was disconnected and I'm reading only 0-bytes). Strangely enough it seems to work with some peers but some others will just disconnect.
Is it the flood protection hitting me or do I have something seriously wrong?

Yes, I reported that bug to Gavin. It's not a BitCoinJ problem. Nothing can download the block chain successfully from those nodes. They are basically broke. I wonder if it's worth an alert broadcast actually, but I suspect that functionality is pretty useless given the number of headless nodes there must be out there.
(does bitcoinj re-connect if disconnected during block download?)
Oh, if it's just a buggy version of the mainline client that triggers this it's probably not needed to modify bitcoinj to work around it.
bitcoinj doesn't re-connect currently. The I/O thread dies and the main thread continues indefinitely waiting for the blockchain to be downloaded.
/noa
0.3.20.1 -maxsendbuffer was too small for the initial block download-- you were probably just unlucky and connected to a 0.3.20.1 node. Connect to somebody running either 0.3.20.2 or an earlier release and you won't run into that problem (does bitcoinj re-connect if disconnected during block download?)
I opensource BitDroid-Network, but once [mike]'s implementation hit there wasn't much interest in it so I stopped developing it. One of the main advantages is that I do in fact allow multiple connections and splitting the requests over multiple connections is a simple matter of implementing an actionlistener. Did I mention it uses non-blocking IO which allows for several hundred connections on a computer or dozens on an android phone?
Found the same, and agree on splitting up the requests.
Having this complete faster than a single peer's rate-limit is a pretty good reason to support multiple peers and do the load-balancing across peers, then across time if still necessary. I was thinking of doing this anyway, to cut down on an initial time required for block-chain fast-forwarding.
Question is, do apps implement the multi-peer management or would bitcoinj consider including this at some point?

I took bitcoinj on a test drive today. Firstly, I would like to say that I'm really happy about the project. I think that having a second independent bitcoin protocol implementation is really valuable, especially since reference implementation code base have a quite steep learning curve.
However, when trying to start up the included PingService it fails to download the initial block chain from the bitcoin peer running on localhost. When i start up the PingService it starts to try to download the blocks from that it has gotten previously. After a few tens of blocks received the peer on localhost:8333 closes the TCP connection, and writes something along the lines of:
socket send flood control disconnect (1380543 bytes)
in the it's debug.log.
I'll look into working around this tomorrow, but thought I should bring this up here first.
What would be the reasonable thing for a client to do to not be seen as flooding by the bitcoin peer? The method I'm thinking about is to split the list of block hashes returned as a response to the getblocks message in several chunks and send a few separate getdata requests with a delay timer.
