Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted. Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender. Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed.

Please choose the correct section for your problem. 7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required. 8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning. 9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online. 10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents. 11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection. 12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban. 13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts. 14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community. |

 fork bomb, instability in 2.8.5, 2.8.6 I have a problem where 2.8.5 and .6 - sometimes immediately upon execution but sometimes upon becoming an ultrapeer - spawn hundreds (literally) of java forks and become unusable. This happens with the sun 1.4.0 vm and with the ibm 1.3.1 vm with 2.8.6, it's worse because it starts popping up error dialogs faster than i can close them. I eventually go to a different console to killall -KILL java. I am unable to copy/paste the contents of the error dialog because xwindows becomes unusable due to constantly shifting focus. Also in 2.8.6 there is a tendency for the ui thread to stop functioning (no screen update) when i try to look at the connections tab, though it's clear limewire is still running in some sense because it's using plenty of cpu cycles and bandwidth. I've waited as long as 20 minutes for it to come back before killing it. I don't have any of these problems in 2.7.13, but I've spoken to a friend who has the same problems with 2.8 versions. I believe this is probably the same issue as another poster mentioned, having to do with java out of memory errors. The number of searches and number of downloads don't have anything to do with this. "ps ax | grep java | wc -l" returning 241 does. It doesn't matter, but my linux is debian/woody running on a two-processor intel system with 640 megs of ram, and i am launching limewire with an unmodified runLime.sh script, and installed using the tarball.  |

| That's not a bug, it's not exactly a feature either but it's compatible to bloody MacOS. LimeWire needs two threads per connection, that makes up to 162 as an ultrapeer, plus at least one thread per download plus GUI thread, plus one thread per upload, plus, plus, plus.... The developers are trying hard to reduce the number of threads needed. - If they could use java's non blocking io, they could use a lot less threads but unfortunately MacOS doesn't support it (like so many things that could boost LimeWire's performance).

| Well, it run's on my system (SuSE 7.3 Athlon TB 800Mhz, 256mb ram), using Sun's jre 1.4. No matter if I'm running as an ultrapeer or not and sharing ~6000 files. There might be problems while LimeWire is hashing your files. I don't know anything else what could be causing your problem (except for maybe more than a hundred downloads at the same time). |

| Yeah, I have a problem like that too, ps -aux | grep LimeWire | wc -l reports 214 limewires running, it works, but it seems a little, excessive. Anyhoo, I just came to find out if it was leaking threads or something, but if that is the normal mode of operation, so be it. I guess it isn't hurting anything. |

| 215-230 threads is normal for LimeWire (v2.8.6-). You need a gui thread, one thread per upload/download, two threads per regular gnutella connection, a garbage collector thread, and so on. |

| process # limit I was encountering the same problem as the orriginal poster when upgrading to 2.8 ... occasionally Limewire would crash HARD, an error dialog with an exception would pop up, but the whole app would look up before there was any time to look at the exception. When someone in this thread mentioned that it's not unusal for Limewire to use several hundred threads/processes I figured out what theproblem is... Dependig on what Linux kernel you are using, and how your system is configured there may be a hard limit on the total number of processes allowed per user, or for the whole system. Aparently, in Limwire versions <2.8, Limewire rarely needs more then 256 processes ... i say this, becuase i almost never had this problem with Limewire 2.7, even though my shell was conifugred to only allow me to use 256 processes. depending on whhch shell you use, you should look into either the "limit" or "ulimit" commands. You should also search for "PAM" which is an administration tool that allows root to set hard limits on users regardless of what they set in their shell. HOWEVER, on top of all of this, is the possibility of an evern more dominating limit ... aparently in teh Linux 2.2.x kernels, there is an absolute hard limit 512 processes for the whole system. (this can be changed at compile time, but the fact remains -- there is a hard limit which can't be changed without recompiling the kernel.) |
