Angry [Mac] JD completely freezes Snow Leopard

This happened twice today. Had to restart my iMac each time.

I am unable to deliver full bug report with log right now.

JD version is 0.9.059.
Mac OS X 10.6.1 (32 bit kernel)
Java version: Java SE 6 64 bit (from Java Preferences.app)

JD was downloading from rapidshare. Also using aMule at the same time.

Cool

When does the freeze occur? Does it happen after you perform a particular action? Does it happen after a certain time?

At first, JD starts OK. I entered the download queue and it started downloading. Then, I hid the app. When I came back to the computer (the first time overnight, the second after a couple of hours) the computer was either completely frozen, or Safari was still responding but with no internet connection. I had to force a restart in both cases. I am 100% convinced it's JD's fault because I can use aMule with no problems normally.

I will try again with the log enabled after I am done with the aMule downloads.

Could you please also monitor memory/RAM consumption of jD? Thanks.

Check activity monitor. Do you have a process called pictd that launches with JDownloader and eats up huge amounts of RAM, eventually freezing the whole system? Happens with me and I have not found a solution. Search for "pictd" in the German forum.

This bug defeats the whole purpose of JDownloader. I hope a solution will be found very soon.

Mac OS 10.6.2
JDownloader 0.9.579

I have this problem too. Once I quit pictd, my computer became more responsive - it was using 1Gb of RAM. I have heard this process is some kind of legacy process, something to do with 32 bit libraries used by 64 bit processes.

jDownloader was using over 300Mb of real memory at the time this happened, too.

Start jD as follows in a command window :-

cd %your jd directory%
java -verbose -jar -Xmx512m JDownloader.jar -debug 2>errlog.txt >log.txt


When the problem happens, archive (zip, rar, etc.) the log files that you'll find in your jD directory and attach the archive to your post.

Edit: Incorrect instructions for OS-X. See post 42 (drbits)

sorry i dont know anything about the terminal
i tried your lines in the terminal window, and nothing happens, i dont see that jd starts.

"xmac:~ xmac$ cd /Applications/jDownloader.app
xmac:jDownloader.app xmac$
xmac:jDownloader.app xmac$ java -verbose -jar -Xmx512m JDownloader.jar -debug 2>errlog.txt >log.txt
xmac:jDownloader.app xmac$ "

i had a look at jd action log. the problem is, that jd wont save the action log, after the reboot, its gone. when jd freezes my mac (also JD is frozen of course) i cannot access the action log anymore...

other idea?

Logs are indeed lost when you exit jD.

With the method I gave, the logs are written to a file. It works in Windoze and Linux. Macs are advertised as being more customer friendly. There might exist an easier method.

You've to wait for someone who uses a Mac. I don't know enough about Macs.

Is there a *_createlog.* file in your jD directory? Try to execute it.

i am sorry, i dont even have a jd directory. my jd application simply resides
in my application folder. anyone with a mac, who knows how to get the action log after a reboot? i simply must reboot by pressing the on/off button for 10sec, as JD app freezes in a second, and also freezes the whole mac. its completely FROZEN.....and i dont know when it freezes, it just happens. i also watched the activity monitor, processor and ram consumption, its at normal level, when it freezes. JD needs 5 or 10% processor speed, 50 threads and 200 MB physical RAM, later 250 MB RAM. ( i have 4GB installed)

there would be the console app. it writes logs for everything. but the log is very very long. i could send this?

wait, another one:
i can access the app itself by right clicking JD app "show package contents",
there is an action log and an error log, but both are empty (?) and one has the line
"Unable to access jarfile JDownloader.jar"

edit: i noticed that JD runs in 64bit mode, on my imac 10.6.3, just as a sidenote (?)
and my java version is as follows (see attached screenshot)

thx for help!

Did you already try jD with the 32 bits version of the JRE (java)? Temporarily disable the 64 bits version.

no, you mean disabling 64bit of java? or both, also disabling 64 bit of JD?

i cannot disable java 64 bit as it disables whole java then, the 2 checkboxes in java app are dependent on itself - and jd wont start.
but i can test running jd in 32bit now!
