unresponsive mlnet update II
the solution which i documented last time worked, but it did not work well. it seemed to me, that it did kill & restart mlnet much too often, so that my downloads did barely advance.
in search of a new solution, i returned to the forum page where i read first about the bug. it seemed that someone has written a very helpful script, which takes the task of checking the open file descriptors and, only if they exceed a certain limit, kill and restart mlnet.
but, according to the last entry in the discussion thread, all this is not necessary anymore: the newer version (i.e. version 2.5.16u-2) fixes this bug and is available to download.
so far i haven't installed nor tested this version, but as there are no more comments in the thread i can assume that the problem is solved with the newer version.
