[Mldonkey-users] 115100% downloads with MLDonkey 2.0 cygwin/win32

[Alon]

I have a rather large problem with my MLDonkey 2.0 downloads:  NONE of my 
downloads finish.

My setup:   Win2000/SP3,  MLDonkey 2.0 cygwin/win32, totally fresh install 
(started using mldonkey yesterday)

Here's what happens when mldonkey downloads for a few hours:

After 2 days of testing, I have yet to complete a single download.  I've 
run recover_temp numerous times, canceled and re-added the downloads 
several times, and killed and restarted mldonkey core (and deleted all 
config files) several times......to no avail.  I added a couple 10MB+ files 
to the download list, thinking that maybe it was having trouble with small 
files only (smaller than a "normal" chunk)......no difference.

I have no idea why this is happening, other than perhaps there's a win32 
bug somewhere, maybe with the ntfs filesystem, or with something cygwin 
introduces.  Anybody else having similar problems (under any OS), or have 
their win32 mldonkey2 working perfectly?  I really like mldonkey, but this 
is kind of a showstopper bug for me :)

P.S.  Anybody else running the win32 port notice their mldonkey core 
freezing several times an hour (no cpu usage, no socket usage, no admin 
protocol interaction, nothing), only to recover several minutes later? 
Weird.

P.P.S.  See http://forums.edonkey2000.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=270032 for 
my forum post.
