Application hangs on large single file.
Posted: Thu Mar 22, 2018 4:33 pm
Just came across this for third time and finally saw what might was the cause.
In downloading a large SINGLE file of 50+ GB (2160p MKV File), the allocated memory of 16GB (in Usenetic preferences) (of 32GB) is used up during downloading and then Usenetic pauses giving a Warning window that application has run out of memory and to quit/force quit apps to free up application memory.
The only apps listed are Usenetic and Finder.
Usenetic causes Spinning ball of "I refuse to Do Shit" in the Usenetic app only,
Finder and other apps work fine.
Selecting Usenetic to quit does nothing, Force Quit does nothing.
Activity Monitor doesn't even show Usenetic running nor a force quit option.
Trying to Shut Down the computer does nothing as the hung program prevents it.
Final option is power button to shut it down.
Don't know if you can do anything about it as it seems to be a download cache memory limitation based on available memory hardware.
Perhaps a built in preference for the use of available disc space(SSD) as an override on large single files that exceed the default preference file limit.
For now I will just avoid downloading Large single files or use an alternate app in those rare cases.
Thanks for your attention and efforts.
