[Mldonkey-users] MLDonkey + ntp -> MLDonkey strikes

[Der Lockruf des Kaos]

I just realized, why at some time MLDonkey stops all Downloads 
for no Reason.
MLDonkey doesn't crash or hang, "only" the Downloads are all yellow painted in 
gui.

I execute the following two lines by hand an get aware of the Problem MLDonkey 
gets into:

ntpq -p rustime01.rus.uni-stuttgart.de && 
ntpdate -v rustime01.rus.uni-stuttgart.de

Then i stop MLDonkey and start it again and all is ok again.

So it is annoying, nothing critical i think. 
Workarround: Update the Time when MLDonkey is not running ;)


I don't know how MLDonkey would behave with different time Offsets?

My Time on my machine differed -7202.332549 sec from the Timeservers out there.



Time before: Mon Aug 18 22:24:33 CEST 2003
ntpq + ntpdate: ntpdate[6672]: step time server 129.69.1.153 offset 
-7202.332549 sec
Time after Sync: Mon Aug 18 20:24:41 CEST 2003

Perhaps if the Time only is wrong about several Seconds MLDonkey would work 
further on, i don't know.



BTW: Does anyone know how to write this Time i get after each Sync to the 
Mainboard(BIOS)?
It seams, that every Time i boot my Computer, the Time is wrong again.
