Getting a lot of corrupted parts (now with 2rc8)
« on: December 29, 2004, 08:51:04 PM »
Hello everyone.

Last week I suddenly started getting lots of corrupted parts in aMule. I have to download ~ 3GB to get a complete 700 MB download.

I've tried recompiling aMule, recompiling amule along with it's dependencies (specially compression and hash checking stuff), changing the temp folder from one disk to another, running fsck in all the partitions, running memtest 86+ to see if it is a RAM problem, etc. Nothing worked.

So I end here looking for some ideas on what to try. aMule 2 is just around the corner, but I'm not sure if it will solve my problems.

Thanks in advance to all those that answer this post.

I'm not against moving to 2.0 rcX, but 1.2.8 is supposedly the last "release" quality aMule version, and it was working fine until last week.

I'll probably try aMule 2 rc8 if nothing else works....but I doubt if it will solve my problem...

I forgot to mention that I can download perfectly with BitTorrent, plain http, etc.

2.0 rc8 is a stable version for linux, like 1.2.8 is - so you don't have nothing to worry (rc is for mac osx) ;)

it is really recommended to update, because of partfile handling i.e .. and a lot more.

but sometimes, a file is really corrupted (wrong packed or smth like that) and u'll get those errors - there is nothing we can do about

cheers

Well, I'll install it tonight and post my results.

I know that sometimes a file is corrupted and nobody can do anything about it, but I'm getting that kind of error in every file I download; it completes and then it finds like 15 or so corrupted parts (repeat this behaviour 15x or so for most of the big files),.

I just posted because I didn't have this problem one week ago, and never had it with any other aMule release.

any problems with your filesystem / harddisk? maybe check dmesg or syslog

No stefanero, I tried with 2 different disks, one being FAT32 and the other reiserfs3, and the problem persists.

No, the problem persists.

I really don't know what to do. It may be a networking issue, because I reinstalled almost everything....

I have an ADSL connection....I'll ask my ISP just in case. But nonetheless, do you know if I can try anything else?

One strange thing is that if I download for example the kernel sources (~30MB) vía FTP or HTTP and check them with the MD5 sum, it passes without problems...Is there any socket library in the middle that may be corrupted? Just a thought.

BitTorrent downloads just fine (perhaps it gets corrupted parts and I don't notice because of it's high speed), I download files ~170MB without problems

Hmm...weird...this same problem has been discussed in the emule forums, since this very same problem happens sometimes with emule on windows. Solution there seems to be disabling temporarily ICH...I'm not sure if that's a solution or not, but it seems to work for some people. Still the problem is the causes for this are unknown. Search the emule forums, and see if you can get some applicable solution to this problem: http://forum.emule-project.net

Regards.

Haha, OK, I get your feeling, but as I said, this has worked for emule before. Did you search in their forum for some other solutions?

Regards.

I searched only lightly; I'll give it some more time later.

However, I don't expec to find much info regarding an aMule problem in the eMule forums... :P

I know that they are the same.....almost. There are a number of signifficant differences, and those differences are some of the candidates for my problems (some shared libraries for example...). However, as I said, I'll search more later

Any other ideas are appreciated.
