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.

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.

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. |

 Computer freezes completely Hi, I am very new to Gnutella and I was looking for a modern yet light****** client to try it out. Phex at first seemed like the ideal choice but unfortunately I will not be able to use it as it freezes my computer entirely whenever I do a seach and try to click in the interface during or just after searching. Can't afford complete freezes like that, sorry. I looked through this forum and I tried to install a different, older version of Java (I had Java 6 with runtime 1.6.03 update and I changed to Java 5, runtime 1.5) but it didn't help. I re-downloaded and re-installed Phex as well. I can see that this freezing is an old GUI bug and it has to do with Java or something. So, maybe you'll fix it one day or maybe my computer is not good enough for Phex: Winxp SP2, PIII 600, 512MB RAM, 2 small 6GB drives. Anyway, too bad Phex doesn't work for me  Gnucleus is light but it takes forever to search.  |

| Are these system freezes caused of extremly high CPU use or by a complete system lockups/crash. In case your system crashes then they are mostly caused by system, hardware, driver or Java problems or most likely a combination of these. There is not very much we can do about it in the Phex code. I think the old GUI bug you are refereeing to was caused by deadlocks in Phex. But in that case they should not be related to system freezes. There are currently no known deadlock problems in Phex.

| Which operating system do you use? For me (GNU/Linux on an amd64) Java 6 works well, and I don't experience freezing. Which kind of computer do you have? Do you share many files (please don't naem them, just a yes or no suffices  )?

I am not using Java very often and of the few java-based progs I've used none caused such freezes. I install and uninstall a lot of progs actually, but while some of them are buggy and crash, general lock ups never happen (winxp so beats win98 in that department). Well, is it a bad Java install then? Or is Phex known to be allergic to some progs or some configs? I'd like to hear about that. =========== arne_bab: Quote:
Obviously this is a pretty old computer. Since I don't have a very large HD space I can't share that many files, obviously. And as a matter of fact I don't. And the ones I am downloading only have a dozen sources in general. So... Seeing so many posts about Java-related lockups, I have to assume it's bad Java in my computer but maybe I don't know how to clean it up completely for a perfect reinstall. Thanks for your replies. |

| Sorry.. I can only guess blindly what it could be.. I have seen many cases where the Java VM crashes or where the system hangs for a few seconds or also where Phex stops reacting. Sometimes that can be solved by a Java update or a Phex fix. But system crashes I have seen only very rarely. I know of a few BSOD cases resulting from incompatibility between certain network drivers and Java on high system load. But a different Java version or driver update tend to solve these problems. The age of your computer should not matter much, you could configure Phex to run with low resources in 'leaf' mode. The only thing that might be a little low is memory. Java likes to eat memory! But I guess Phex should stay below 70-80MB if you don't challenge it to much. Sometime there can be problems when there are multiple Java version installed on the same system, so you can try to uninstall all Java versions through "Add/Remove Programs" and do a clean install. Java is not very invasive on your system, so there shouldn't be any trouble with uninstall artifacts. Gregor

I guess, I'll have to leave it to Gregor - my knowledge of Javas inner working doesn't go far enough.

Anyway, thanks for all your help, I suppose I'll give Phex another try after a complete system cleanup at a later date. |
