I am new in TightVNC so am using it to connect to my server. I am trying to create a torrent with uTorrent through TVNC but I keep getting an error
"There was an error computing the hash:(4) Too many files open."
I tried different pice sizes but same thing. :frusty:
File size 18gb
torrent size <500kb
I assume you are running a *nix machine? Debian or ubuntu maybe?
drop a console and type:
ulimit -n
it should return 1024, the default value.
Now, type
sudo nano /etc/security/limits.conf
everything is commented out in that file, so just copy/paste this line anywhere there
* hard nofile 2048
save the file and reboot the machine.
If 2048 isn't enough, try 4096
Oh, I forgot, you must have root to do this. If you're sharing a box, you'll have to ask your admin to do these changes for you. Most will do it without a problem.
thanx for reply but how do I "drop the console"?
like I said I dont know much about TVNC
Where do I type all that?
I do have shared box so I will email the admin about it.
thanx again
If it's shared you'll have to email it to the admin, that's right.
If it doesn't work, I have another solution for that.
Gosh I used to get that same error in every single mp3 pack I downloaded from ScT, arsh.
You were right Cabalo. I emailed the admin and he raised it to 11000 which I think is enough.
Thanx for your help.
That's EXACTLY the same way I discovered I had to do this. Their packs had way too many files and my utorrent running on WINE would stop every minute with errors.Quote:
