High Download consumption

Description

Hi

I'm using gruml beta 9.13. I quite enjoy the product but discovered in the last few weeks that Gruml appears to have a very high download consumption, in my case in excess of 200MB per hour.

I cannot be 100% sure but I switched off all other potential download hogs and if gruml is off that seems to reduce downloads significantly.

My google reader has in excess of 600 feeds in it, so that may have something to do with it, but at the moment this behaviour is a deal breaker for me (in the space of 2 days >4GB were downloaded, half of it over night even with my mac in sleep mode; if gruml is off that issue goes away)

I'd love to hear if somebody has a solution to this.

Gruml 0.9.13 is outdated, use 0.9.14 and set standby caching interval to a high level (see Preferences)

I am also seeing this behaviour, though in 0.9.14. I have confirmed that it is indeed Gruml causing it by finding the offending traffic on my router and then using lsof to line that up with Gruml on my Mac.

The traffic is between the Mac and the following two addresses:
syd01s01-in-f104.1e100.net
syd01s01-in-f99.1e100.net

These are Google servers here in Australia.

My "Cache feeds every" is set to 15 minutes, and I have tried turning "Live update of unread section" off without luck. I have only 18 feeds and this is with Gruml running in the background without me doing anything in it.

Please set "Cache feeds every" to a higher level (maybe 1h), if you don't want to have a frequent sync/download if in standby

Unfortunately changing it from 15 minutes to 45 minutes (the maximum under 0.9.15) only reduced it to about 75% of what it was before. :-(

I've just been trying to catch up on a feed that I hadn't read in over a week with about 200 unread items in it. What I noticed is that once I tried to read anything over a week old it became difficult as the feed was refreshed after about 20 seconds and would hide all the older items. This refresh could be what is causing the excessive traffic.

Have been using 0.9.14 at work, and in the space of about a week I chewed through our entire 25GB allowance, and I don't think there is anything else to blame but Gruml. !@#$%&*

I've now increased the "cache feeds every" from the default to the maximum of every 45 minutes, but I'm not sure its going to be enough. Chewing through multiple gigabytes is ridiculous for a news reader.

This is a massive show stopper. I don't know what options the Google API gives you, but I think this is what you need:

1) Give us more options than 45 minutes!! Give us hours, give us 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours or whatever we want. Give us a manual only update with a button. Give us times we want updates: e.g. I don't need it updated when I'm asleep, but I may want it updated just before I wake up. Let a manual update only update the feeds you want updated, not all of them.

2) If the Google API allows it, do some smarts to do with feed updating. e.g. only update the feeds you access the most, or update feeds that you notice change more often, or let the user customise etc etc. I subscribe to hundreds of feeds, but there's probably only a small subset I care about being updated particularly often.

I might also add, that if you have a slow connection (like if you are being bandwidth limited after Gruml chewed through your monthly allowance!), and a large number of feeds, then by the time Gruml has finished caching your feeds, it is already time to start all over again! Flood your connection, and when we're done, flood it again!

Pretty please do SOMETHING about this ASAP!

Dunno why I had to make a second wordpress account <A href="http://www.buyherveleger.net/">herve leger </A> to leave a comment to your blog but anyways xD

Thx for the responses. The “vuvuzela-powered lazer beam” thing <A href="http://www.buyherveleger.net/">herve leger clothing </A> and your last answer made me laugh out loud

I wanted to ask you this for quite some time now. I would <A href="http://www.buyherveleger.net/">herve leger dresses </A> appreciate it if you replied. What’s actually harder, making a record or trying to name it?

It's well known that money can make us free. But how to act when someone does not have money? The one way is to get the <a href="http://bestfinance-blog.com/topics/home-loans">home loans</a> and just term loan.

Thank you, it's very astounding story it might be very hospitable for students. For example last year when I had a difficult of time at the end of semester with a everlasting flow of academic assignments and tasks, I had a brilliant idea to get essays or term paper in paper writing service. I was so exhausted that I did not care for what can appear when my academic work was written by another person. To my adroitest surprise, research paper was worthy the price I paid for it. I was so satisfied with the quality that in a flash ordered another paper.
