Let me just say Gnucleus rocks! It's the only client that you can actually search for files with AND THEN ACTUALLY DL THEM! However I'm plagued with random crashes. Sometimes it crashes straight away, sometimes it takes a couple of hours.

Anyway, it causes general errors in MFC42.DLL so I was wondering if there's any known fix or workaround for this problem. Can you upgrade MFC42.DLL?

Thanks in advance.

Joe.

No known fix for this yet, still trying to determine why some people get it and why others never do. What operating system are you using?

I'm using windows ME.

swabby, I'm running win 2k and it seems to crash randomly on me as well... albeit a little less frequently when I am using "random ports" option (I did a little messing with every option to figure out what may be the cause - this slowed the crashes)... I have a couple of the Dr. Watson generated error logs if they would help at all for debugging... I will admit all of my crashs have occured while the program is minimize to the sys tray...

As for background apps... ussually running

Milhouse - at work and I didn't feel like loggin in... ;-)

I've been using Gnucleus without crashing for three days. I was determined to try a few things because I really wanted to DL something and it really is the only program that seems to work.

Anyway, I deleted the host cache and all the partial DL's bar one which was a big one. Now I got to thinking that it seemed to crash whenever I would try and resume that particular DL.

Anyway, I left it and DL about 15-20 files over three days without a hitch, then I thought, ok lets test this theory. So I tried to resume that one DL and it crashed within 5 minutes.

So my guess is one of the hosts saved with that partial DL is sending corrupt handshaking info or something similar?

Anyway hope you get this one sorted. And I hope to see an auto re-search feature in the next release!

Searching for mfc42.dll finding many bad sign rename until you find one works best with all your software.

I'm using Win98SE. Just another data point.

Gnucleus occasionally crashes for me, too. I can't be sure of this, but it seems to me that there is some correlation between Gnucleus crashing and a host for an item in the download list going away. I don't think it matters whether the host is currently being downloaded from or not.

This is on Win98, original edn.

Swabby: Fix this problem and you got the most stable Gnutella client available!

Keep up the good work!

I get random crashes with Win2K SP2... I've just downloaded LimeWire in frustration... pity - Gnucleus has always been my favourite.
