Description Duncan 2002-10-02 14:36:59 UTC
I often have trouble with posts being erased before I can look at them,  
because the cache simply isn't big enough at 1G, the largest the  
spin-buttons will allow it to go.  I am on a cable modem, and often d/l a  
gig or more in a single session, particularly when I d/l several days  
worth of binaries at once.  
  
I discovered I can set the cache higher, manually, as a config file edit, 
and have it set to 4G, of which I normally use 2G.  The problem is that 
editing the preferences with the GUI sometimes resets the value to 1G. 
  
I'm guessing this is an easy fix, changing one number in one location, but  
could you please set that max to, say, 10G, or something?  The defaults  
could remain, for a normal install, but the 10G max cache size would allow  
those that needed it to use it. I'm installing from RPM, or I might try 
attempting to track it down myself.

Fixed in CVS and will be in 0.13.1.

I felt generous, so I gave you 20 GB. :)

Cool!  =:^) 
 
I always wondered how such a decent binaries news tool could have 
such a small max cache in today's age of 100G plus drives.  20G 
should be an adequate max cache size, well, until 10Mbps Ethernet or 
better internet connections and 1 Terabyte drives become standard.
