hello, nice to meet you
I'm new to amule (comming from mldonkey)
I run a sorcerer linux box and everything is compiled from scratch.

I've two boxes and both seems to have the same problems :
I'll name the box by there adsl download rate : 128k and 1M

amuled : on 128k, simply can't establish a connection to a server
on 1M establish a connection, begin upload, then disconnect and reconnect another server..... I got banned from razorback2 for 2 hours for "too frequent connection" reason.....

amuleweb : can establish a connection, if I get a timeout then the login is now impossible, looking into the xterm shows me that the pass is correct. restarting amuleweb allow login....

amule : lot of crash (seems to come from wxGTK), and strange 100% cpu use after a day of use.

I'm more interested in amuled since the average cpu usage is 1-2% against 10-25% for amule
I think that this is a great idea to at least provide a core and GUI, but I don't know why but the core isn't able to perform basic functionnality

thanks for any help
I can produce core dumps if you want.....

I downgraded to wxGTK 2.4.2 seems that the cpu usage gone back to normal
see you later.... (anyway why forcing user to use a devel version 2.5.3 which seems less stable if the stable version works and correctly link?) :]

[Jacobo221]

noone forces noone to use wx 2.5.x. in fact, I use wx 2.4.2 the thing is there is quite soem code which is disabled (uses the old code) when compiling with wx 2.4.2, so it is recommended to use 2.5.x. Only recommended
Greetigns!

P.D.: Let's just hope wx 2.6 stable will solve this problems!

[cityhunter]

so here is the report using 2.4.2 :
amule is now "stable" ie don't segfault every 1/4 hours
cpu usage is still problematic : almost 100% after a day of use.....so the problem comes from amule and not wxGTK......

[Jacobo221]

it comes from both
for example, you with wxgtk2.4 it uses (normally) more cpu than wxgtk2.5.
but, ye, aMule eats quite some CPU. that is a known issue which is being worked out.
Greetings and have a nice aMule experience!

[cityhunter]

wxGTK2.5 cpu :average 15%cpu at startup
wxGTK2.4 cpu :average 4% at startup

time before 2.5 eats 100% cpu : 8 hours
time before 2.4 eats 100% cpu : 12 hours

I can't test with amuled since it don't work

anyway why do you try windows portability? seems that wxGTK is more a trash than a solution : every application that depend on it that I used in the past used to eat 100% cpu.....
ask your users : we want something fast stable and light.... windows has emule..... keep amule under *NIX
I think that everybody will gain by dropping wxGTK/wxBASE from core (you can keep a GUI if you want)

[Jacobo221]

wxwidgets supports MacOS, and that's more of a goal than windows (aMule is not working under windows at the moment).
Beimng able to port easily an app is always an advantage, no matter what it's cost is. the 100% cou problems can be solved wiht patience and efford.
aMule is a young project. it's 10 year and a half old (not even that old), so it time
Thanks for the support and greetings!

You can try using the search function of the board and your 100% cpu problems will be magically solved by the board elves.

Young app...10 years!!! damn...It's been there since the beginning of times, more than 8 years before emule!!! (sorry, couldn't resist to joke around your typo)

Regards.

P.S: just to keep on-topic, I would like to point that on my system, amule just eats 5% of CPU, compiled with wxGTK 2.5.3, but _never_reaches 100% (it always stays the same, 5% CPU, 15%RAM according to top). Using Fedora Core ", due to known problems compiling amule under solaris (I know...I've been busy, sorry)

Regards.

There's a known problem with amuled only install: EC is disabled by default. That's why amuleweb is failing to connect. You are welcome to manually edit ~/.eMule or run amule and change it to right value in preferences

ups... not 10 years really... y, etypo, 1 year and a half i meant

skolnick: :PPP
