Firewall logging port 6346

My firewall has logged 131.114.2.90 trying to connect to
my port 6346, this has been happening for quite some time
now, about once a minute.

I know that this is the standard port for Gnutella (it also
says gnutella-svc), but I would like to know if this is just
a server trying to connect to the wrong machine (I'm using
a modem to connect to the internet, dynamic IP, maybe
someone was communicating with 131.114.2.90 before
I connected using this IP?), or could this be some malware?

I traced the 131.114.2.90 machine back to ser-fib.unipi.it
(131.114.191.50), but traceroute couldn't get any further.
Could this mean that the network is slow / broken down
there in Italy (I suppose it's Italy).

Best regards,

Jos Kirps
