I don't know about leech hammer specifically but I've seen plenty of users setup to have downloaders cycle through their queue, time-out and go back to the end. One that answered my message said his firewall did it. Others had really feeble download rates that went to zero after a minute and timed-out. I've thought about ways to do it without showing on a whois but I can't think of any way to stop it or retaliate. I hope the developers are doing something with the next version to at least give more info on users like that.

Had some fun times lately with dumber leeches who just cancel everyone in their queue. I just get comfortable and hit retry every time I'm canceled and after 5 or 10 minutes they either let me download or they get off the network.
