Hey, I think I was a victim of bitrot. I just had a brilliant idea today to uninstall Gnucleus, install an old version (1.7.4) and upgrade directly to 1.8.3 (I had been doing incremental upgrades). Now, I'm running 1.8.3 and it's working very well.

Thanks for all those that provided helpful replies.
ah, Zooplah, dream on....... I tried exactly the same... have had 3 crashes now after big chunks of hours and many uploads.
It IS a problem within Gnucleus, not your OS or mine.
In fact, I have done a full /unconditional format followed by a clean installation of 2000 Pro with ANOTHER /unconditional format during the install....... I have a clean registry and the problems occur, regardless. I wonder how many other users out there have tried these tests with only Diskeeper 7.0 and Gnucleus installed on their machines? No other programs, at all!
Interesting that both Gnucleus 1.8.2 and 1.8.3 and the BearShare 3 alpha and beta series have had such similar problems...... especially as of late with BS (although noises are being made that beta 53 is somehow OK now....)
For me, I am going back to Gnucleus 1.8.2, AGAIN, until the dust clears!
