It still gives me errors:
2007-12-12 16:57:57: PartFile.cpp(885): ERROR while saving partfile: Failed to open part.met file (001.part.met ==> Movie.avi)
2007-12-12 16:57:58: ClientCreditsList.cpp(360): Credits: Error while creating signature: OS_Rng: open /dev/urandom operation failed with error 24

i raiseed max connections in aMule to 5000 and still no diff??

do you mean raise file max in aMule or Linux? if so how?

thanks..
