Thanks, and please also try to quit all other programs that are running in the background.
Especially, but not limited to programs that are observing/monitoring the system.

I can't think of anything else than a program that handles as middle man between Usenetic and the system, that is causing this behaviour. I tried everything you said on an (older) Mac and Macbook Pro, but the issues you mentioned never occur. Not even when queuing and removing/shifting thousands of entries.

I also spend a day walking through the source code, searching for parts that might causing this, but nothing seems wrong.

And there hasn't been any such issues reported by any other clients so I am almost sure that the problem is just related to your system and again most likely by some other program that is interfering the processes.

I have removed all parts of Usenetic app with CleanMyMac and reinstalled a fresh version of latest Download from the site.
Eureka!
Have had no problems since!

Evidently, the previous version had developed something that was corrupted and was the root of the problems.
Possibly developed over time from constant repeated force quits and subsequent plist and/or app code corruption.

As a future diagnostic process, it may be wise to recommend deleting the problematic old version of all parts of app with a program like CleanMyMac and fresh install the latest version; then see if the problems recur or not.


Thanks for the help and the final word that no one else was having problems (which made me decide to try reinstalling app)

I'm happy that it resolved the problems I was having.

The app is behaving very well and has not shown any instability for two days straight.

Truly, your support went above and beyond what I have seen other app developer provide and you are to be commended.

Again, I thank you for your help.

Best regards
John

UPDATE of Status.

Rock Solid performance and no crashes, hangs or problems at all.
Have been using It continuously for 6 days nonstop.
Downloaded over 2.9 TB since 10/16 with no issues at all.


Definitely the best solution was to uninstall corrupted version and start clean with fresh install.

Can Highly recommend to everyone now.
