Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. 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. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. 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.

That is not very professional.

Ok, what Process Viewer (Activity Viewer) is showing as Virtual Memory is VSIZE in "top".

Virtual means in this case really virtual and has nothing to do with the virtual memory known from Mac OS Classic! On OSX can each process allocate up to 4GB (G5s can 8 or 16GB) of memory and as long as they do not use the memory it's only virtually allocated.

A memory leak (memory consuption AND the the loss of the ability to free it) as such is anyway not possible in Java. As long as RSIZE (Real Memory; the total amount of physical memory used by the process) is much lower than VSIZE and as long as it doesn't grow constantly over the process lifetime everything is fine (a Java memory consuption bug would manifest itself in a growing RSIZE).

I save 0.8 secs using Process viewer instead of Top on my configuration...

I think (am sure?) there is a correlation between slowdowns and vsize on my machine, bu maybe that's just me. I couldn't correlate rsize and slowdowns... (except of course if LW is taking all the ram available).

Thanks for the info, I already knew that vsize was kind of weird, storing gigs in a few 53 megs page files....

allo et voilà

I see changes in mem usage from last month too--but are you seeing more hangs? My G3 was getting sluggish, the HD thrashing: 3 LW hangs on a 24hr session.

Salut Stief 1.1 gigs of VM? My iMac would have hung for minutes... The hangs seem related to uploads, but the increase of RAM usage is definitly caused by downloads. I can't get over 100megs RAM with uploading and running as UP. However ONE huge download and running as leaf is enough to get near 200meg RAM usage. The various memory optimisations in CVS LW made thursay and friday did help a little, but the real problems are in downloads.

Ciao

Thanks for this diagnosis, et voila (and stief for posting the screenshot). We'll take a closer look into downloads. Unfortunately, it seems like 80/90MB footprint when running as an ultrapeer is going to stay for a bit... I believe the problem ultimately stems from QRP tables taking up too much memory. There doesn't seem to be any efficient sparse bitset representations for java, and making one is a very difficult (and time-consuming) task. Even sparse matrixes seem too heavyweight.

Yes--the screenshot reflects running as an UP (with no downloads), and just under 3 GB [edit] of HTTP uploads in that 24 hr period.

UP Gnutella traffic was higher than I recall too--averaging 6.9 kB/s down; 9.2 kB/s up.

Sorry if I missed a discussion of the traffic increase (not enough UP's for the great netsize growth?)--I'm catching up, and still can't get trap_jaw's BT enabled LW to connect.

Is http://www.limewire.org/jira still the place to watch for bug reports? I haven't been able to access it.

JIRA's been down for a bit. We'll get it back up at some point.

Salut Sam, I tried to get up to 200megs RAM by usual means, but couldn't I could with CVS of thursday, but not with the CVS of friday (friday's optimisations helped?!). I got up to 160 though. I have here infos (sreens + bug exemple and threads) available @ http://cmt.homeip.net/documents/lwinfos.zip
Process viewer analysis tool can be very helful On the screens you see that I have 148 megs RAM usage and 100 threads open (seem a lot for running as a leaf). I had 4 uploads and 1 dl going. The infos were taken after 20 hours of LW use. I recommend you to see the samples of com.limegroup.gnutella.gui.main and some stats at the end of that file. Tell me those stats are helpful for debugging.

All for now,
Ciao

PS: Sam. you badly need to enable PMs as this message was better suited for that, and it wouldn't clutter the thread.

Thanks very much, et voila. I notice that you have automatic reporting of bugs turned on -- could you possibly turn that off (so it shows you an error every time)? It'd be nice to see if there's an internal error prompting any of these bugs.

The only odd thing I can notice with the example bug report is that the number of "DownloadWorker" threads is 64, yet you only had 1 managed download and 1 individual worker active.

That would be consistent with your other findings that downloading is causing errors. I've been unable to reproduce this myself, so perhaps there is something unique with OSX. Do you happen to have a Windows machine, or an older OSX box to run with?

PMs would become too confusing. I've already got enough places to check for messages. Besides... I'm not the only person who finds this info useful.

I have a windows xp box running 4.1.4 as a leaf on java 1.5 beta for 24 hours and memory usage is 45 megs ram and 80 megs vmem with 4 downloads active and 2 uploads active (10 waiting). It does seem normal.

Another thing: LW seems very slow at trying alternate sources from results on my mac. I tried the same search on mac and windows and the same download with a similar number of sources. The 4.1.4 version of xp was fast while the CVS os x version was dling from one host and it took a long time before trying the 10 other sources available (still downloads from one host...). It looks as if LW on my mac was having it's max simulatenous dl connexions so it avoids trying other sources. I repeated the test with other searches and same results. BTW I'm now at 121 threads with the same amount of dls and uploads as my previous report.
