Multiple satoshi 0.16.1 with strange behavior

^ you are banning different node IP addresses simply because you don't like them! otherwise there is nothing abnormal about any of their behavior as far as i can tell. these are normal bitcoin nodes that have a high download speed and are trying to synchronize with the network and "catch up". which is why they are currently downloading a lot of data.

I noticed the same. I have 20-30 new Chinese nodes connecting to my node every hour. Before I had 20-30 new nodes in a week. Something is definitely fishy here.
It is not the "normal" traffic I had before.I don't care about my bandwidth but this is really strange. I started banning them and now I ban about 2-7 nodes every 10 minutes. See also here:

What are they up to?

Here my banlog of the past hours:

You can set maxuploadtarget=n in either bitcoin.conf or as a desktop menu parameter. That will limit uploaded data to n MB per 24 hours

Thank you, maybe I'll do. But first I want to know what they are doing, if they're honest I'll give all the data they want.

Looks like lots of node are trying to sync via your node imo, I don't think it's strange. Anyway it's fine if you don't want them to use all of your upload bandwidth.

It's not that I don't want to give them all my bandwidth, it's that I'd like to understand why so many similar nodes connect and ask for so much data.

Any idea of what can it be? Is it legitimate?

Strange, my hard guess is:
Ping request will just display the delay of the connection between you and the peers...
so if they are from China and you're from US (with 1mbps upload bandwith), 1000+ms is pretty normal specially if the other party's connection is too slow. (could be wrong)

Usually my ping on bitnodes is 40-50 ms and I've always seen the peers connected to me under 100 ms.

The block chain is 200 GB, so asking for 5 GB per day doesn't seem unreasonable.

Yes I know but my internet it's a bottleneck in that way, my upload is 100kb/s. Since my bandwidth is limited, I would at least know if I give it to "honest" nodes.

Hello everyone, I have a satoshi 0.17.1 node and for a few days a lot of chinese IPs with satoshi 0.16.1 are connecting to me, all in synchronization so they are using all my upload bandwidth.

I've noticed that they all have a very high ping and once connected, my ping goes to 1000 and more both looking at bitnodes and for other new peers.

I have 1 Mbps upload with my adsl, and I've sent them more than 5 GB per day in the past week.

So today I started banning, and in 6 hours I banned more than 150, all near addresses such as 223.245.201.219 and 223.245.201.117 or others that share almost all the numbers except the final part, or even random addresses but with the same features.

All with the same behavior, which are synchronizing and all from China. They're all with bloom and witness.

Any idea of what can it be? Is it legitimate?
