i get message

can't opend index file <some path>/tor.index, too many files open

this happens within 2 minuets from startup for first file, and repeats every few minutes until all downloads are stopped.

i have some 12 torrents active, and all plug ins are unloaded.

software versions are:

Code: Select all

Qt: 3.3.4
KDE: 3.4.1
KTorrent: 2.1.3
SunOS unknown 5.10 Generic_118855-14 i86pc i386 i86pc


i tried with:

Code: Select all

ulimit -n 60000; ktorrent;


with no result. I also tried to set limit from within code so I added in main.cpp, before signal call:

Code: Select all

...
    rlimit rlm;
    rlm.rlim_cur = (rlim_t) (256 * 256);
    rlm.rlim_max = (rlim_t) (256 * 256);
    setrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE, &rlm);
    printf("\n FileLimit %i \n", ulimit(UL_GDESLIM, 0));

    // ignore SIGPIPE's
    signal(SIGPIPE,SIG_IGN);
...


with no result again (it does print file limit to be >65000).


I don't know if I am trying to unlimit wrong process? Any help would be appreciated.

What if you run with the --nofork option ?

it doesn't help, here is tail of terminal output:

Code: Select all

Qt: Warning: KTempFile: Error trying to open /export/home/sodoom/.kde/share/config/ktorrentrc.lockOVgaaa.tmp: Too many open files
KCrash: crashing... crashRecursionCounter = 2
KCrash: Application Name = ktorrent path = <unknown> pid = 19641


it core dumps at exit if it starts with file errors

There have been some change in SVN version which should make the to many open files problem more difficult to occur.

Maybe you can try the SVN version ?

Btw how many files are there in your torrents ? And how are your connection limits set ?
