Hello everyone


A few days ago, emule (which i've been using for a long time without any problem) started behaving strangely.

Merely opening it causes HDD activity to go through the roof, even if it's not connected and not managing transfers. It struggles to stay responsive and will eventually crash, sometimes giving the "out of memory" message if i try to close it by clicking X.

Also, when i close it, an emule process will often stubbornly remain active in the task bar, also keeping the HDD activity at 99% despite it's traffic only being like 0,1/0,3 megs per second.
Apparently there is no way to shut down this process (attempting to close the process tree yields "access denied") other than rebooting outright.


This problem manifested without any action on my part: one day it just started happening. I have no reason to believe my HDDs are faulty, even though they are 7-8 years old. I keep them defragged and a recent scan with HDtune revealed no damaged sectors (assuming the response is reliable).

Reinstalling it solved the issue only temporarily (lasted less than a week with about 3-4 hours of daily activity). Version 50b behaves in the exact same way.


I have windows 10 64 home premium.

One factor that may be connected to this issue is that now, every time i shut down the computer (if i used emule during that session) the HDD will operate at high usage for a couple minutes before shutdown is complete. No way to see what it does exactly, since it's the very last thing the PC does and the monitor is black.


Thanks in advance.

Hi TheTom. :-)

10 home premium doesn't exist: standard or pro (or enterprise).
How many shared files?
How many transfers?
What setting did you set in options extended, safe met/dat file writing?
INCONCEIVABLE! - You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

It does exist, just google it.

Anyway

About eight hundred shared files for a total of 750 gigs.

Transfers are usually just 3-4 at a time, with an average top speed of 2 megs per second. Can't say about uploads: i set the limit to 1 meg and every bit of it is always taken.

i have 1 gb fiber.

About those other settings, i never touched them so i guess they're the default amount. Can't check that now as emule is currently uninstalled.


.... aspe ma sei italiano?

Ah mejo XD

Criptozoologia di Windows a parte, hai teorie su cosa possa essere?

Ho provato UTorrent oggi e non ho avuto alcun problema. Anzi.

No idea.
Try to tick never in options extended, safe met/dat file writing.
Are you downloading official emule from sourceforge.net or from this forum?
