Well, this sounds bad.  I haven't updated to 10.4.4, yet, so I don't know if there's a general problem with that update.  It would be good if people report in with their experiences, good or bad, with the 10.4.4 update.

marungo, are you using 10.4.4?

In the meantime, here's something both of you can do to help us diagnose the problem:

  • Run aMule until it freezes.  Leave it frozen.
  • Open Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal.app
  • At the command line in the Terminal window, type this: sample amule 10 (and press return)
  • The sample program will produce a report in a text file.  Reply to this thread and attach that file to your post.
  • Now you can Force Quit aMule and quit the Terminal program

It may be that you have to install the Developer Tools in order to have the "sample" program.  I forget.  If so, you can install them from your Mac OS X CDs/DVD.

good morning!
updated to 10.4.4. 2 days ago. anything runs fine! no suspicous behaviour! but i get a lot of error-messages in the terminal. here a sample:

Code: [Select]
Error on CKademliaUDPListener::processPublishRequest received from: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:4672
No ip match has it something to do with it?

Well, I don't see an obvious cause for your problem, abfe.  Here's something else to try.  In the Finder, navigate to Home / Library / Application Support.  You should see a folder called "aMule".  Rename that folder (for example, to "not aMule").

Now start aMule.  Hopefully, it will run without problems.  Because you have renamed its configuration folder, it will start completely fresh -- it won't know about your previous preference settings or any partial downloads you might have had in progress.  That's OK and to be expected.  What I'm really interested in is if it works without freezing.  If it works, we can try to restore your old configuration.

amule 2.1.0 freezes...
« Reply #8 on: January 18, 2006, 09:09:30 AM »
hello ken!

i have your advice for the solution realized, but for me is not useful.
first: i have more then 1100 files in the queue (waiting), 100 or more files ready for download (normally runs simultan 5-15 downloads).
when i have the application in the foreground, anytimes freezes after 2,3 or more hours. or the application goes uninterupted 1-2 days!
under the 2.0.3 version i have 50 files under simultan download, but both versions have full cpu usage!
in my company runs the 2.0.3 version, 5 downloads (good, only 5 files...) and the cpu load is under 5%!!! in my home runs amule under min. 25-70% cpu load, that's is very high, practical all apps and the systems at work by 90-100% cpu load...
question: is the incredible count of downloads the reason therefore? should it limited to 20-30 downloads? i think the rest of the files is all under stopp, this is no problem.

please reply to a request for information.

thanks!

Yes and no. For some reason, aMule versions later than 2.0.3 seem to handle larger numbers of downloads less well (actually, the popularity of the files might be even more important than just the number of downloads); see this thread.

Ken and I have already spend a good amount of time trying to figure out where this CPU hogging is coming from but to no avail so far.
