Hi Firstly, I'm very glad to hear you're staying on. I'm still a little troubled as to a worthy donation amount though. My bandwidth is capped at 15360 which should be 15kbps. I don't always want it capped, but there are network admins that are going to pick up 100kbps constantly if you can't do something. As for connections, I want to limit them because again I am concerned that the admins will pick it up. I am very keen to somehow be a part of this project, but it's pointless if I loose my net connection altogether over it.
With processor priority even on idle, this is still happening regularly: Processor usage 100%, whole computer slows down and applications will not load for period. This happens when load on my node hits 100%. This is only worrying me because i'm running an intel 2.8ghz system with 1gb ram which doesn't slow down for anything :-S message: On Thu, Oct 31, 2002 at 09:28:09AM +0000, wrote: > Hi > > The latest build 527 (the version ending .3) seems to be having a field day > with my processor.

Yeah, this looks like network imbalance, which _ought_ to be cured by the recent builds. On the other hand, we got a pool of many thousands of nodes running 525 on monday... > > Bandwidth limiting features don't seem to stop my node eating 100kbps which > is far more than I can allow on this particular machine. This is interesting, I'm not sure why this is happening but it's reported a lot... you did set the bwlimits correctly (in bytes per second)? > > Connection limiting features aren't stopping me having over 50 active > connections at a time (in extreme cases) even though I really can't sustain > that many on this machine. Well, I'm not sure what the problem with 50 connections is, really.
