Package: gtk-gnutella
Version: 0.96.1svn11444-3
Severity: important
Hi.
This version has a serious desig flaw. Users who use a NFS-directory as
their home are unable to use this program when a certein size of
runningn downloads is hit. The size is determined by the networkspeed of
how fast the network is able to write the downloads files into the
${HOME}/.gtk-gnutella directory. If the network speed is only 10MBit the
size of the download file should not exceed 3-4MB otherwise the
permanent saving of the download state cloggs the network with repetive
saving and no bandwidth is available for actual down- or upload. For
faster network connections this applies at large files, but reachable as
well.
it would be much better to ave the tempoary downloadsstate in a file
located of a faster filesystem. The local filesystem is normally the
fastest and /tmp should be one. With the correct precautions /tmp is
secure enough to place the file there. The ${HOME} directory is a bad
place to loacte a fast changing tempoary file.
Ciao
Torsten
