No luck. I fiddled with the -Xmx option; I even downgraded to jre 1.4.2 blackdown - but it still randomly crashes without explanation. I didn't any hs_err_pid_nnnn files, either. If you want to see any of my logs, just tell me where they are, and I'll share them. I've noticed something else strange. Before fred crashes, my hard drive goes insanely busy. The terminal responds really slowly, and the freenet web interface takes forever to load. Then, after a few minutes, silence, and no java running at all. I'm running entropy/rsa and it's been working since the day I installed it. Why does freenet have to be so much harder? thanks for your reply, Harrison _______________________________________________ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
