Analysis of files to share is too slow (2.5.5 pro) Hi to all, I just installed the v 2.5.5 pro on Linux (SuSE 8.0 and JRE 1.4 on a K6III 400 MHz) and I noticed an amazing slowness of the new version in sharing files. It takes in average 5 seconds per files, this means a hell of a lot time to share my 2000+ files. Before (2.4.4 pro) those 2000+ files were shared in about 10 seconds. I think there is a deeper analysis of shared files in place to refine search algorithms (I hope). Did anyone notice the same slowness? If yes, is there a way to remedy? Cheers |
Why LimeWire is calculating SHA-1 hashes of the files and this process is intentionally throttled to reduce the load on the CPU and disk so your computer is more usable. I think they should make it share all your files even while it's still calculating hashes, but it's not my decision. |
Re: Why Thanks for the answer, how do you know that? is there a place where this is discussed or presented? |
I also discovered that the system is a bit dumb, in fact the so hardly computed hash key could be stored in a file, in order not to compute them again for unchanged file at each restart of LimeWire, but it is not the case! Every time I restart LimeWire it computes all he hash keys again. I hope this gets improved in the very next future or this will affect the amount of songs everyone can effectively share, since I (and many others) don't stay connected for 8 hours in a row... |
the hashes will be written to a file called fileurns.cache in the LimeWire directory (unless you don't have writing permissions for the LimeWire directory). |

Re: Why There are a couple messages buried in this thread that discuss the loading. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=13106 |

I've also been looking at q-tella ... if its search results were better ... i'd switch for good ... but LimeWire/AquaLime are tops. |
