what influences the speed files are recognized as shared?
 

hello all
tried putting more files in the shared library. the total number of files is calculated fairly quickly (on the bottom left corner of the window 2 hours ago is said something like "Sharing 0/615 files") but the number of actually shared files increases VERY slowly (i.e. the first number, after 2 hours it now says "Sharing 11/615 files"). Is this too many files? Do I have to allocate more memory? May sneezing twice help?
I am using a G4 sawtooth with MacOS 9.1 and 1 GB of RAM (or thereabouts) and am otherwise well-behaved.
Thanks for your help.

The speed for adding/verifying files is influenced by your CPU speed, Apple's poor Java implementation for MacOS and the low priority the hashing thread has.

ermmm…
might buying a double-processor G5 help?-))

but seriously, thanks for your kind reply, and– as an absolute newcomer, I must say, I am dead impressed by P2P and what these guys have been able to put into being

by the way, I accept this is not about picking free apples in the Garden of Eden and just bought a double-processor G5. Will it give Java a break?

Java kicks on (dual) G5s, at least on my 2x2. :D
