Connected for awhile

Postby Cerian Knight » 27 Nov 2013 03:02

Shareaza Home says "You have been connected for 40992574608240 hours and 46 minutes". Noticing this on 2.7.0.0 r9295 20130831 under Win XP SP3 on an old dual Xeon (yes, 2 physical CPU sockets) system. My PC hibernates a lot, so I'll see if this repeats in 2.7.1.0, which I just grabbed. Let me know if anyone else has seen this behavior.

BTW, I couldn't login to the new forum host with my old account (and followed all instructions regarding UN/PW).

Cheers

Yep it's common problem of old function GetTickCount() which is overflowed after 49.7 days, Shareaza has many outdated code and GetTickCount() used frequently. Although Microsoft recommended to reboot desktops Windows regularly for many reasons, for example for monthly security updates installation.

Sorry, I should have been more specific on the actual uptime, which is only 10 days. Same on r9338 20131124. I'll reboot anyway and then monitor the behavior.

I'm familiar with the 32-bit API limitation, BTW. In fact, I solved it (more-or-less) here: http://www.xtremevbtalk.com/showpost.ph ... stcount=13

Nope. Rebooted last night. Shareaza was fine at 0 hours and 10 minutes when I went to bed. I did not hibernate, but I did user switch to the login screen and left Shareaza running for about 20 hours. Now huge number of hours (61489146912364) reported this evening and some downloads had completed. Probably unrelated, but, G2 had lost connection (G1 and eDonkey were still connected), so I had to run a manual Discovery query.

Fails with large number of hours reported in about one hour from starting Shareaza. Did not Win-L or hibernate. Unless someone can verify they have seen this behavior in such a short period, I'm unlikely to file a formal bug report. I may be able to test 2.7.0.1 on another PC at some point. I doubt it is related to running Dual Xeon 3.8 processors in my old Dell Precision 670, because I don't recall seeing this on 2.6.0.0, but anything is possible.
