Hi, Colin-Stewart Bridge Deady ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
You emailed about "[netconnect] Re: Voyager Cache".

That is what I do here to a degree bu I also noticed yesterday that my
cache limits were being exceded. Voyager isn't keeping to the
parameters set by the user for it's cache size at the moment.

The only problem I can see at the moment is that the drive will become
full because you have run out of drive space. This could mean any
problems from Voyager crashing to getting a lot of drive full
requesters.
For now I think everyone using the current V release should keep an
eye on the size of their cache.

Personally I use PFS3 (And AFS-Pro and PFS2 before that). It is fault
tolerant (No invalidation) and is a lot faster than FFS. So here I
get a faster browser cache and I am fairly crash resistant.
For anyone using PFS2 I have just upgraded to PFS3 and noticed a
further increase in speed. AmigaGuides also do not get slowed down
when opening anymore comparing PFS and FFS speeds. (A bug in PFS2 ?)
Cheers.
