I've been using Shareaza 1.5.1.0 for the last two days. IMHO it's probably the best Gnutella peer available, and probably the most advanced
.
But I am having a problem, after a few hours running, it starts to use more and more CPU resources, until it gets always above 90% CPU use and then it stops responding
. I found no reason for that behavior, and after 10 or 20 minutes it's still the same. I can only close it (I use Win2K SP2). Does anyone else has this problem? It's very annoying. I guess that some process runs into a deadlock, and kills it all. I've also seen that sometimes there's a peak of CPU use and any upload running may breake. I am connecting to 5 ultrapeers. The computer only runs Shareaza, no other program was running except Kerio Personal Firewall (2.1.4).
Also I have seen partially closed sockets, in the firewall I can see the port 6346 open listening, and a few more 6346 sockets closed but not released.
I would like to make a suggestion also to improve Shareaza (and it's difficult to improve even more!): Ability to search and download a file when found (what LimeWire calls "Add to whishlist"). Also, something that allows automatical responses to chat requests (busy message, taking care not to respond automatically another automatic message!)
