hello,
i have a trouble (no start) with the HFS.vfs load when too many request are opened at the start (all limit off),
curiously download accelerators are not well supported and need from users too adjust the parameters,
less slots or more time on request delay.
if not flashget (or else) can make easily crash hfs. (not only at the start load)
the only way to debug a too heavy process or the vfs load is to cut the Internet, adjust or store your hfs parameters (before a crash), connect again the web.
i have 3 crash today on one logged heavy user + an anonymous guest IP asking too much not protected files at the same time.
After the opening and at the start.
the actual solution...
i use the "max simultaneous download limit from single address" + a ban on the crashing guest IP to keep hfs stable.
(sorry for the crashing guest)
but "speed limit for single address" need more option.***
maybe
"Single Address User Downloading speed limit"
"Single Address Anonymous Downloading speed limit"
+ enable a filter on the file to speed limit, to exempt the html, css, js, xml, flw of the speed limit.
if not it slow also everybody on the html template view or your hosted web pages.
the idea is to limit only the files to download speed (DATA),
to free the CPU charge without slowing the html template view.
***
limit user (speed 1) .... sub level can be introduced ... happy user group ....unlucky user group.
limit guest (speed 2) ... for the security + useful.
no limit user (full speed)
no limit html file (full speed)
Good luck!
