Slimjet Crashing Continuously / BITS transfer
Posted: Fri Aug 04, 2017 3:53 am
after using Slimjet for a long time and thrusted it's stability, i encountered since yesterday continuous crashing of Slimjet even such that a start of the process was impossible. Reinstalled the latest version (15.0.4) and same happens thus should be something specific at my side.
After checking the event-log, it was quickly discovered: the number of BITS-jobs was on it's limit (60) so i could increase this number, but did check the jobs. All concerned failing transfers of "7.54_all_easylist.crx" thus possibly related to updating the adblocker list. Deleted all jobs and all was fine again. RootCause was probably specific settting of my firewall.
This raises the question: does Slimjet use BITS-service to update build-in AdLIsts even when AdBlocker is disabled and no url's are present, except the one required by Slimjet (there is no setting for auto-updating); if so this should be moved to section BUGS or Feature-requests.
Details of job: file copy
http://www.google.com/dl/release2/C6dTT ... sylist.crx -> x:\users\piet\chrome_BITS_1816_13452\7.54_all_easylist.crx
(X:\* is temp-location on ram-disk)
Almost sure is that the download-URL is fetched using "redirector.gvt1.com" and maybe "dl.google.com" (via svchost executing the BITS-service for Slimjet).
Note that more is ongoing what i don't like in Slimjet: after disabling my firewall and allowing to download above file from Google and enabling the firewall again, i note the failing next transfer request related to "3_all_sslErrorAssistant.crx" (sb-ssl.google.com) and also access to accounts.google.com.
Thus please check at developer-level access to Google's sites using the new Chromium-base!!
