RE: [GNUnet-developers] gnunet download problem

[eric haumant]

Hello,

I don't think the problem comes from the routing part because it happened to
me while gnunet-download was checking that the block was already downloaded.
It happened to me more and more frequently while the download goes to the
end.

I can see that gnunet-download stops when the memory use fails to just 350kb
and some times the local gnunetd fails with it and I have to restart gnunetd
and gnunet-download.
When gnunet-download checks the block's presence, I have some breakpoint's
error, is it normal ?

I've mesured a download speed of 4kb/s on average which is low enought for
people with only 56k modem.

Thanks,
Eric.
