Re: Re: Re: BNR2 goes crazy and creates 25,000 tmp files in a few minutes

I think BNR3 is a mistake, ok BNR2 has that small limit on database size but its very fast and I get 4 MB/s (bytes) on my downloads from it. NZB support could be more reliable but really what would help is a better "saving state before deleting all those large database file before I restart". Could be as simple as better menu structure to save clicks to accomplish this.

I have never had BNRx lock up any computer I have used it on. I can

remember that a few years ago BNR2 could get stuck in a loop, but you just

killed the .exe and restarted it. Sometimes BNR3 looked like its stuck but

will always finish from what I have seen. As for other things, well it

depends on how stable you need your computers to be, I dont have an OS

install at less than ~2 years and I only re boot once or twice a month for

most of them, and as I have said the que is easy to rebuild, and I cant

remember the last time I saw a STOP or had hard lock.



I have checked quite a few times the speeds with everything turned off and

on and the difference is a few seconds ...I could care less, so they are

always turned on, I doubt that my computers are so much faster than all

others, the version[s] I use most are on an old Athlon XP 2600 (~1900

MHz). I have said many times that its best to run it on/from its own

drive/ partition and I use a batch file that saves the que to a .rar file

defrags the msglst with contig and then starts the program, so if there is

a problem at start up you still have the que, but even so, its so easy to

get all of your que files rebuilt its not needed, and the DB is always as

fast as it can be.



I also read some very big groups and that is where I found the threading

to be the most problematic, but then I read a group thru and then stop and

carry on with other things, I dont have anywhere I work from with just one

computer so I always have BNRx running in the background somewhere, I read

check and select, load up the que with a few gigs and go on with other

work, then think I have a spare few, read down thru the groups some more

and again load up the que and so on ...a quick look and the above computer

(XP2600) says its been working for 8 days, 9 hours, 48 minutes, 56 seconds

with BNR3 at a hour'ish shorter.
