Didn't used to do this uninstall I reinstalled OS X. I made a thread about how much faster everything was and how great it was. Well Direct Connect is now slow as sin. It uses 80% of my CPU for probably probably near two min to open. I change something in the preferences another minute for it to process.



I've...



Deleted Prefs

Deleted Caches

Deleted Program and downloaded another copy

Restarted

Repaired permissions

Ran fsck



What now playboy?



Added by edit:

It isn't slow for everything just some things, but DC is a little pig B.

    You arent clearing your completed list. Make sure you have show all for the transfer view. All of your completed files show up there. Loading them takes ages.

    Or, if you just grab a whole directory, and it has thousand of files in it, same thing.

    You can only really do a few files at a time ( no more than 100 ) then clean up.

    Not in your transfer folder, but in the transfer view of Direct Connect. It doesnt care whats in the folder, but keeps track of everything you are transfering in a history database. If that database gets big then DC gets really slow.

    Yeah I know what you meant, sorry I just said the wrong thing. There is nothing in there...it did this the same way the first time I used the program after installing OS X. It works fine in other users accounts though! Maybe I just delete this account and make a new one?
