I seldom download large files and this has me stumped. The file(s) make
it to cache but cannot be decoded to their ultimate destination.
Google tells me this is a gnome problem. Don't know.
There's also a pan bug report
(http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105259) but no resolution as
of yet.
Reading that changing the value /proc/sys/fs/file-max might help I tried
that but no joy.
It's a general system file descriptors issue (not GNOME specific unless
it keeps huge numbers of files open for some reason meaning there aren't
as many as expected left over for general system use), as the bug implies.
I've never had issues (but seldom do such many-part files and now use
klibido for binaries anyway) so haven't delved into the details. Perhaps
it's something that needs to be set at kernel compile?? (That /proc
setting would then be read-only/informational??)
Maybe someone else has dealt with it and thus knows more about it than I
do, but that should point you in the right direction for research if
nobody else posts any further.
You mentioned klibido which brought me to uudeview. I compiled
uudeview, RTFM and figured it could do what I needed without another
news front end. I dislike KDE anyway :-) Uudeview detected, decoded,
and joined all the attachments in the cache. Think sideways !
