Re: [announce] swappolube to lubricate your gui
 
hi!

this gui lubricating app boosts my GPS in getting a locked and accurate location.....awesome!

and one more thing, in downloading files let's say using transmission, i find having a hick-up when activating all the proposed settings in swappolube. so i need to deactivate it before starting any downloads specially gigantic files.

but that is not so good! the app rocks and i want that to persist! so my kneel down question is what settings i need to change, enable or disable in swappolube during a download?

thanks....:)

Swapo is supposed to be tuning the system at startup. Why change stuff on the run?

apologies......i was just wondering if the swappolube's settings makes some of my video streamings and torrent downloads to cause some issues (like longer buffer time and hashing/verifying of local data).

thanks, :)

EDIT: my fault, not to do with swappolube

Not by itself, no, but it does tweak settings that affect buffer sizees and the such, likely forcing a flush. As long as the OS flushes data, all writes are queued, resulting in a "hickup" for everyone with a disk IO in progress. Since torrent apps do that for a living, it seems likely. you can try a sync before but that just moved the stall.

Little way around it, I suppose.

I wonder if you could implement a function to save and load different presets... Would be nice to have.

i agree......i did lower my connection settings (like minimizing peers to 30 each torrent and 100 overall torrents) and worked fine.

it was my own settings on transmission that was making the crazy effects....thanks
