Hanging on "Starting Download Manager"

[craig33761]

Hello, after having problems connecting to G2, I've been using the debug builds (currently 2011-04-19 / r8991). This has fixed my connections issues, but when I start Shareaza it stops at "Starting Download Manager" and freezes for approx three and a half minutes, then continues normally. I've checked and unchecked the download manager box in preferences to no avail. This isn't a huge deal, but if anyone has a solution it would be greatly appreciated.

These are probably two different "Download managers" here. The download manager in settings is the web browser plug-in (I think, never used it), while the one mentioned on start up should be the one that handles incomplete downloads for Shareaza. If it always takes a long time to start up, I think it is probably due to some of the .sd files in your Incompletes folder being very large or somehow corrupted. You can try to clean up the incompletes folder by removing temporary files that have been left over. Those would be the ones that don't match an active download in your downloads window. The easiest way to find them is to order the files by the last modified time since only active downloads get modified so you can ignore any recently modified files when cleaning.
