you can try switching off sharing, logging out/exiting, then restart wuala (or relogin) and enable sharing again. You may have to repeat this 2 times.

This is done/checked server-side... I fear you'll have to wait till it's fixed (again). – Bugreport, on September 14, 2008 17:40

Wuala Version 484 and it still doesn't work:
Wuala shows 2.7 GB - on HDD the folder Fragments2 uses 11 GB!
Is there a command to order Wuala to scan this folder again or if this isn't possible, to remove the 'waste'-data?

Mac's JavaVM is Made By Apple, I can't believe they would ALLOW the VM to take that much.

On a side note, i want your disk array.

current usage: 8,9 MB - just a little bit of downloading - so very nice!

Help->About Wuala. There Wuala displays how much memory Wuala uses. 16 TB can't be true ;)

Bugreport replied on June 24, 2008 17:25 to the discussion "More storage in total" in Wuala:

Yes but wuala stores every file on more than one computer so this is just a countermeasure to not flood the whole system...

Maybe take a look at the Google tech talk about Wuala on Youtube (just search for "Wuala") - the system is explained really well there!

lukas.v replied on June 24, 2008 06:34 to the discussion "More storage in total" in Wuala:

I assume that wuala stores every file only in single copy (even if it belongs to more people) and just creates more file-to-user links. So if more users store non-unique files (avi, mp3) there is potency to multiply user's storage with some ratio.

vaus replied on June 23, 2008 21:35 to the problem ""Locally Stored Data" figure is not increasing" in Wuala:

Same problem here:
Wuala shows 889 MB, on HDD used 1,77 GB.

Wuala Version is 448

you simply exchange local storage for distributed storage. actually making local storage equal to distributed redundant safe storage.

you could compare it to einstein's theory of relativity, the mass-energy equivalence.
your local storage directly becomes part of the distributed storage.

underlines replied on June 23, 2008 17:44 to the discussion "More storage in total" in Wuala:

This can't be possible. You cannot earn more space than you give. It's a self-supporting system. Give and take you know? :)

More storage in total

From wuala website: "The idea behind Wuala is not to give you more storage in total...". I'am a little bit disappointed because I expected some "space bonus". If I remember well, in former versions the formula for calculation of earned space was OnlineTime * LocalSpace * 10.

Luzius replied on June 20, 2008 07:09 to the question "Wuala is eating my memory!?" in Wuala:

That's a fundamental problem with Java's memory model. If you want this to be fixed, you can go to
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_...
register and vote for this bug. However, don't expect too much. Some bugs on bugs.sun.com are ten years old and still not fixed. :)

Here are the technical details:
Java applications (like Wuala) never return memory to the operating system. So if Wuala just uses 200 MB once for a second to scale a large image, memory consumption as shown in the task manager will stay at that level. So Wuala might use just 30MB after that operation but Java keeps the 200MB allocated. Sun argues that this doesn't hurt because the operating system will page out the unused 170MB to the hard disk if more memory is needed, thus freeing up the physical memory for other applications. So the 200MB consumption displayed in the Windows Task Manager makes Wuala's memory consumption look much worse than it actually is. :(

I will add a memory meter to the about box with the next update, so it will be possible to see how much memory Wuala is 'actually' using.

(Btw: sometimes memory consumption might go down a little, that's because of memory allocated and freed up by native code that isn't using Java memory.)

My instance of Wuala eats usually 250 - 300 MB. But this is a price I'am willing to pay.

Roger replied on May 21, 2008 15:09 to the idea "Feature request: lock workspace automatically" in Wuala:

To make clear: logging out from Wuala not from Windows...

We don't think it is necessary to have such a feature in Wuala. As you said, use operating system functions as autolock, autologout or screensavers to protect your system.
