Im having some problems with amule 2.0.0rc7.  Im currently using wxWidgets 2.5.3 --with-gtk --disable-gtk2 during wxwidgets configure.  the problem im having is that after amule is allowed to run for 30 minutes or so it starts to CRAWL.  so much so that it actual starts losing sources, my queue drops from 1000+ to mid 200s and my download rate goes from a regular 200 KB to around .5 KB average.   this is a slow proccess.  at first amule simply becomes slugish when i click to change tabs or open a different view.  but eventualy amule more or less grinds to a halt and has to be restarted to be usable.  the rest of the system is uneffected.  i can still play videos and music with no sign of trouble or slowness.


something ive noticed is that my log is being flooded with error messages:

what is this error 7?  is it a possible cause and if so can i stop this?  any help would be appreciated.

thats another error that seems to be flooding in the log window.

The secident message only appears in the verbose log. Disable it, since it only contains information useful for the developers. I've seen the other message once or twice, but I'm not sure which log it appears in. If also in the verbose one, then ignore it. Regarding your problem, we need to know your amule configuration (max sources,max connections, conn/5 sec) to help you better. Also, your bandwidth limits would help. Amybe you are flooding your line.

Regards.

[wolferz]

My connection limits (and i have tested this) is 3.8megabit downstream and around 150kbit upstream.  i have line capacity set to 4000 down 256 up.  bandwith limits are 3000 down, 15 up, and 30 for slot allocation.  max sources per file is 500 max connections is 3000.  most of this is straight out of my emule config from my windows machine, which was working fine.  the only change is the slot allocation setting isnt availible on emule.

the max connections per 5 seconds is 40.  im not sure if i have messed with this setting or not.

well, skolnick has very nicely already answered you with all is needed to say
i suggest you to take a look at

no no no you dont understand.  this isnt about the ed2k network taking multiple days to get a file.  that im more than used to.  this is amule grinding to a halt so that i cant even change views without having to first close it and reopen it.  this is amule grinding to a complete and utter halt.  this is like running windows xp on a machine with 8 megs of ram.  the connection isnt slow, the PROGRAM is slow.  but only after 30 minutes or so does it start to slow down.  its like the program is runnign out of memory.  like a massive memory leak, exactly like that.  except that only amule is effected.

[Jacobo221]

ah, sorry, wrong link above, I meant http://www.amule.org/wiki/index.php/AMule_makes_everything_slow
but anyway, the link i just gave you isn't about CPU either, it's about aMule taking the whole bandwidth. it is an explanation of what skolnick explained you. But tha's not your problem. ok now let's go ahead with your prob

Please tell me what wxwidgets version you are using and which version of gtk you wwidgets is linked against.

your settings seem to be too high. If your line is 4000/256, measured in kilobits, then try using some values like 400/28 in aMule, (that would be a leecher's values...try using a lower download speed ) since amule uses kiloBytes, and 1byte = 8bits also, max connections /5sec is 20 by default. Try using 20. Max connections is also too high IMHO. Try using just 200.

Regards.

Hmm...I am usually not that nice to people who don't do their investigation homework before asking...but I'm just in the mood, since my (a/e)mule has been pretty ill these days, getting almost no downloads, and I can't seem to find a reason. That made me sad, and wanted not to yell at anyone

Regards.

[wolferz]

from the top, i WAS using wxwidgets 2.4.2 though i dun remember which gtk i had it linked against.  ive since installed wxwidgets 2.5.3 linked against gtk 1.2.10

ive noticed that since i upgraded to 2.5.3 wxwidgets amule is not as prone to slowing down but its still doing it. very slowly.

[Jacobo221]

wx 2.5.3 is much less cpu eater than old wx 2.4.2
maybe you didn't uninstall wx 2.4.2? make sure you did, maybe you have both conflicting in your system.
other tips... do what skolnick tells you. the less coenctions, the less cpu, obvious.

skolnick:
:-( patience... :-/

[skolnick]

which linux/gtk are you using? I am using Fedora Core 2, gtk 2 (do not remember the version now...the default which comes with fedora) and wxgtk 2.5.3, wxgtk and amule self-compiled, and wxgtk using gtk2, no unicode.

ill try lowering my download speeds but as ive said before i was never downloading above 200kbit. and also since i can still watch realplayer streams of ifilms whil im downloading on amule i doubt my connection is saturated. :/

as for the not doing home work thing.  i did look breifly though the rest of the forum, and though i missed the post about the verbose thing, i did try upgrading to 2.5.3 xwidgets as suggested in another post because they are supposed to be more "efficient".  what ive seen so far is more bugs and problems.  including several crashes in amule with no output.

[wolferz]

i was most cautious that i DID uninstall wxwidgets 2.4.2 i even went to the trouble of running a new configure (since i had deleted my old source folder) and doing a make uninstall doing the same for amule before that.  then i configured and installed wxwidgets 2.5.3, and the amule again. this is my amule output durring configure:
