Title: Just a note to all: Cured: Massive CPU usage, unable to stop search
Post by: PhoneyBaloney on April 16, 2009, 11:16:53 PM

This is to document a problem that I had, which was cured by following the instructions for:

Get a clean Serverlist and up-to-date IPfilter
http://www.amule.org/amule/index.php?topic=16690.0

When I would conduct a global search, for anything, e.g., "Sting," aMule would lock up until the search was complete. I was unable to stop the search, or do anything else with aMule, while my CPU usage for aMule was hovering around 90%, and the fans on my MBPro were screaming.

When the search was complete, I would have hundreds of spambot responses including the word "sting," with 10,000 sources each.

By following the instructions in the above article, this appears to have been cured.
