Content Server Traffic

nru · Today, 06:53 PM

Hello, I’m having an issue with the ContentServer. As soon as it’s running, it starts uploading continuously, which noticeably slows down my internet connection. Why is this happening? We're talking about 3-5 MBit/s Upload for hours?!!

I have found masses of these entries in the logfile:

Code:

What is the IP address of your computer? Is it exposed to the internet? What it look like is that someone busily downloading your ebook collection. The IP address (158.173.154.16) shows as belonging to a address block owned by VPN Consumer Frankfurt, Germany. Another site shows it as being a Cyberghost VPN server located in Frankfurt, Germany.

Each line of the message shows a sucessful GET request for one of your ebooks ending with a 200 success message and the size of the transfer.

If you are going to expose your calibre library over the Internet, please use username/password security at a minimum.
