Clearing HashData.dat from unshared files

Post by Ihmemies » 2004-04-19 19:07

I'd like to get a possibility to clear the hashdata file, since it'll get bloated. And it only collects more and more hashes, even if I don't have the files anymore. It would be very nice to have a button or something to clean up the file, for example comparing what you have shared ATM and remove all other.

Are you sure it won't then rehash all my files, since I wouldn't like to wait another night to rehash the files ;-)

It doesn't rehash everything, jsut optimizes the database a bit. Take about 30 seconds for me with 50 gb shared.

Thanks a lot! They should really tell somewhere about those "console" commands etc. stuff. Maybe a proper help file like in eMule. I guess the only problem is to find someone with enough free time to make one :D

Have you ever typed /help or read changelog.txt ?

Erm, no. Now I feel myself very stupid, since readme and that /help command seem to be very handy indeed.

I'm sorry. I made a page years ago because of something like this happened to me, and seems I've forgotten it. Better study it more carefully from now on.. (http://koti.mbnet.fi/zakath/RTFM).
