Add Banners And Netbarrier, code incompatibility Options

[dowser101]

hi there, i got a lot of problems browsing thru the site until i realize pages were getting stuck due to stubborn add banner links trying to load despite Netbarrier was set to block them. I off'd the function and all went back to flow. This never happened anywhere else. This banners are sticky...

- there is no special ads trick, the banners relaod each 90 sec. or so, and use a standart php ads system used on hundred thousand of sites...

- I can swear you i spend hours on macmusic, using safari, and often with 10-20 tabs open on different MacMusic page, usings forms on some, submitting at the same time, while realoading some others pages... I just NEVER had any crash with Safari.
The only crash i have with safari is when i dont quit it for about a week (i never reboot nor shutdown my macs). and the crash is not related with macmusic, it can happen at anytime, when Safari's memory become highly fragented.

Stable on my G4 733/756M 10.x
Stable on my imac 350/512M 10.3.x
Stable on my 2x1.25/768M 10.3.x
Also stable with Explorer (except the well known IE memory leak problem)

So the problem is on YOUR side, or you have 16M RAM

Just try with a clean/fresh OSX and an official Safari release, and it wont crash

Note: that your internet connection must be sized to meet what you're are asking it: if you had some P2P sofwtares running in the background, be aware that they use a LOT of _outgoing_ BW (the one often limited to 128k with DSL lines). I've also noticed that is sort of software tend to to NOT release the BW, when another software need it. MOst of the time, they eat most of your bandwith just to inform the P2P relayers that you're available, so if you have 10 MacMusic page tryng to reload banners at the same time, it sounds nornal that you end up getting some trouble, because Safari can simply NOT connect.

launch your terminal and type 'Netstat' : it will inform you about all your TCP/sockects connections open at this time: you will see, that thoses P2P software are really BW intensives...

Take care
