Hi list, I ran into some problems when using maxDiskCacheEntrySize and downloading large files. As I could not find anything in the archives I am posting here.
The problem seems to occur if maxDiskCacheEntrySize is set (for example to 1024K) and a file is downloaded which is larger than the in-memory cache (in my case 8192K). In that case it starts downloading the file just fine until the in-memory cache is exhausted, then the download blocks in the web browser but polipo continues to download from the net. Every two minutes or so the web browser will continue the download for a few megabytes and in the end it actually will have the whole file, but it seems that polipo in the background downloaded the file about 4 times over. Is this a bug or is the idea that if maxDiskCacheEntrySize is set then the in-memory cache has to be big enough for the largest file (although that would be kind of inconvenient)? Any ideas? The reason I am using maxDiskCacheEntrySize is that I would like to cache smaller files, but if it also caches larger files then it will always use twice the amount of space on the hard drive and I will not download large files so often that there is any sense in caching them in polipo. Any help or info would be appreciated. Regards, Roman Schlegel ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
