It's just coincedence. My wifes kid downloaded for 10 hours straight, from her win2k box. When I woke up (an hour after he went to sleep) - I noticed the hd was churning on my slackware based gateway (no doubt the updatedb command). I assume it was someone who knows something about how limewire works - and saw my ip, which is usually hidden (ipchains and all, it was a 2.2 kernel) and went to town with an exploit. Needles to say I updated my firewall.
