Got me an interesting problem here. I am attempting to download a fairly large number of files using Rufus. The problem is that some the files I am downloading have been broken into 80 or more .rar files... after I start 6 or 7 downloads (seems to be around 500 files), it starts giving me a "trouble accessing files - [Errno 24] Too many open files" error and refusing to start anymore downloads until I've finished/removed 1 or more.
Any idea's? Is there a way to increase the number of files that can be open at one time? Is it a limitation imposed by my WinXp Pro SP1 OS or is it the Rufus program?
p.s I'm running on a P4 2.6Ghz w/2gig of Ram
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Yep, it's a limit from the OS - which can be gotten around with file caching etc. The main reason it hasn't been added so far is that it may lead to an increase in memory usage which I am trying to avoid.
It might appear in a later version, but not for a while and probably only when I can think of a way to do it without creating a memory hog.
