The Mystic front end seems lower weight than Synchronet and does the job,
with country blocking and blocking any number of hits over a period of time.
Changing ports would be confusing to existing users.  I am using peerblock
as well, but with that I would have to have noticed the port bashing and then
manually block that IP address.  Thanks, though.
