memory usage and system congestion
« on: November 01, 2008, 06:21:19 PM »
Hi,

I have a problem with amule-2.2.2 (wxGTK-2.8.9.1 on gentoo). My box is a P4@1.2GHz with 2GB ram, kernel 2.6.23-gentoo-r9, desktop premp and pam-rlimits.

I noticed that amule is starting and runing fine, but after some time, the system is becoming so slow that it look like dead. At the same time, the memory usage of amule is becoming huge, all the ram and all the swap is used. Last, amule crash and the system become usable again.

I also noticed that after some time, when amule's memory usage is huge but not too huge (the system is not slow), amule is continuing to download and uplaod when I disconnect my network cable. The downloads and uploads stop after a few minutes and the memory usage of amule is normal again.

It look like amule is downloading/uploading more that what my system/hardware can do. Is it some setting I can try in order to solve this?

How many files are you sharing ? Try reducing their number to like 100 or so. Also you can adjust up/download speed in the network settings, but I don't think that's the problem.

A lot of them. I am active in a forum where many members don't understand that one big archive is better for the ed2k network that many small files.

I already try to change the up/download speed, but that doesn't changed anything. I will stop to share small files and try again.

Thanks for the suggestion.
