BadBlue will log Gnutella traffic to a file named GNU00.LOG in the directory to which BadBlue was installed. You can review the Gnutella log file to determine what other users are querying for, which friendly machines were located, the servers to which you connected, etc. By default, only a minimal amount of Gnutella traffic is logged. The EXT.INI file has a setting called LOGGINGLEVEL which can be set to a value between 0 (the default setting, which means no logging) and 9 (maximum logging). [FLDS] LOGGINGLEVEL=1 Logging level 1 can be interesting because it logs the queries other users are submitting to the network. Important note: setting LOGGINGLEVEL to values greater than 1 can result in the creation of extremely large (e.g., 100 Mb or greater) GNU00.LOG files if running for many many hours at a time. See the Advanced configuration section, below, for more details on Gnutella configuration settings.
