Never - these programs are a scam, plain and simple. The only thing they're capable of doing is pushing programs out of RAM to the swap file, which wouldn't help at all in this case, as Windows was already swapping out TB's memory leak (but ran out of allocated space in the swap file, and therefore informed the user that it's increasing it). >> On a German list somebody wrote about TB using an increasing amount of >> RAM while using IMAP accounts without an internet connection. I don't >> know whether this is relevant, but I like to hear myself talking. ;-) I noticed something else when using TB and IMAP: if the server goes down, TB will after some time attempt to contact it every second, dinging when it's unable to. Leave it like this for a couple of hours, and Windows' TCP/IP stack suddenly fails to establish any new connections. Luckily, restarting TB solves this, but it tells you something about how good the TCP/IP stack in Windows is (and I'm running Windows 2003 Server, which was supposed to handle much more than this). -- < Jernej Simončič ><><><><>< http://deepthought.ena.si/ > The most heavily traveled streets spend the most time under construction. -- Law of Highway Construction ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.80.06 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
