Lifted from tsafa1's post below.

To find the number of threads that Ants is using.
1. Ctrl + Alt then Del to open the task manager
2. Click "View" then "Select Columns..."
3. Check "Thread Count" and click "Ok"
4. Click the "Processes" tab
5. The file called "javaw.exe" is Ants, scroll to the right to see the threads column

Gwren saw something similar on a smaller scale. I saw my ants thread count go as hight as 4,500. Then it droped my shared directories out of the library and started rehashing them. Lucky i had them backed up.

We need to know if this happens to anyone else and what your thread count is. you will find the thread count for ants by going into the task manager and clicking Processes. then in the tool bar select view and then colums. Check the boxthat says thread count.

i will attach a picture so you know what to look for. The one in the picture shows 748. Currently i am running at 1,500 . We need to get an idea of what is going on your pc's also post an avg cpu usage.

other the this thread issue my transfer speeds are ok about 12 kb/s avg upload speed over 5 hours.

cpu average about 15%, 500 threads, 90 mb memory.
Sharing 3000 files totaling 19 gb.

I'd say you have WAY too many threads here too. :gj:

ABC_thellookoflove, I just edited the first post to tell everyone how to find the number of "threads" that Ants uses.

tsafa1, had the info in his post it is just easy to miss and a little hard to follow.

Holy shit! Did you see the amount of threads that Abyss0 was posting?

Hell yeah for threads!!!

Let's start more threads about threads even. I love AnTs... I always enjoy the insightful and relevant posts that the users of this super program contribute to the site at large.

I have a new slogan for aNTs... it is: "The p2p program that ruins picnics, likes sugary foods and makes trails through grass." I think that it fits the awesomeness of the program quite well.

:fire
(the bouncing frog loves antS also... to wipe its burning ass on)

lol, the other night i hit 4,500 so i'm still in the lead. Anyway, i think gwren has it under control now with 9.7w. He just put up 9.7x, but i have not been able to download yet.

Please continue to post thread numbers for another day so we can be sure we have the high thread probelm solved. Then we can go create a new problem to talk about :-)

A picture says 1000 words and then some. Click below.

Threads at 2,500 but performance is still good. transfer speeds not effected.

**tsafa1** · March 19th, 2005, 12:08 PM

ants 9.7 y 7 hours uptime, threads at 4,700 see picture. notice that not only have uploads and downloads stoped but also look at the external bandwidth meter at the top. all proxying has stopped too. must restart.
