PeerGuardian Question

in my installation of perrguardian i have a file called 'history.dat' or
'history.db' or soemthing to that effect anyway, and its over 5 gigs in size.
does anyone know if it is a self re-generating file ? ( ie if i delete or rename
it will it create itself again ? ).

its taking a lot of space on my hard disc.

thks

open peerguardian, click on "view history" (top right, window opens) -> "file"
-> "clear database", be patient. clearing 5 gigs (you're running peerguardian
for a long, long time... 😉 will take some minutes.

fantastic - will try that when i get home

cheers

turn off logging of allowed connections, they are the reason the history-file
grows so large.

i cleared mine in around july. it was about 10gb in 8-9 months
although, i just shutdown pg2, went to the folder and pressed delete

i think i'll just manually delete it. when i tried the 'clear database' option
last night i get an error - i think it couldn't clear a 5 gig file. i just
wasn't sure if you manually deleted the file, it re-generated itself.

cheers

thanks for your help guys ! i'll delete the file and change the settings when i
get home this evening.

heh, well i have a 500gig drive and i really havent run out of space yet.


thanks for freeing up the space guys, lol.
