crawling a large site   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1159 of 1200 |
I've used Xenu for years, and it's an outstanding program. I've run into a
problem, though: when it gets much beyond 500,000 total URL's (only 15-35%
visited), my computer tells me the virtual memory is too full. I've got 1 GB of
RAM, and the task manager claims ~ 2 GB are being used.

I'd like to know what others have experienced when crawling a site of that size
(or larger). Is it my hardware? Should I increase the virtual memory?

I tend to always run it 1 thread at a time, so that my computer (and the server)
don't get too bogged down. I imagine if I ran it much higher, I'd have a bigger
problem with giant sites ... right?

Anyway, thanks to Tilman, and thanks to everyone who's helped with improvements
to the software.
- Brandon

Hi Brandon, if Tilman's hints don't help, you might try to spilt your site into different sections and check them one at a time. You can use the "Do not check...

Thank you for the advice. I was running it on my home machine with 1 GB of RAM. At work, one of my machines has 4 GB. It looks like I'm running version 1.3 in...

Having upgraded to 1.3c, it runs for awhile on the 4 GB machine, but soon shows an "Out of memory" warning. Since I'd turned off the "fail domain" option, it...
