vbet_guestcache to big

[mario06]

this problem must be addressed, it took me 4 hrs to eliminate it all on a quad machine furthermore some type of manual flush|clean button must be added here to and instead of adding them manually like Steve said there should be boxes where you can set each individual settings on or off by adding a check mark something like vbseo sitemap generators settings does

Automatic guest cache cleaner added. Also added administrative tool for guest cache cleaning. Booth will be included in vBET 3.3.5 and vBET 4.2.3

The idea to ZIP cached files at this moment is rejected, because not all browsers can support getting ZIPed response and unzipping it each time will consume CPU resource which is much more valuable than hard drive resource. In case of any ideas in this area – please open new feature request for that. In this one we already had few requests and it is not able to manage anymore here.

Little correction - vBET will support ZIPping guest cache files. When vBulletin option "GZIP HTML Output" is turned on, then vBET will cache already ZIPped file. Of course in such case vBET will send appropriate headers, when content from cache will be send

It will be included in vBET 3.3.5 and vBET 4.2.3

Michal, yesterday vbet reached the limit of my 75gb webspace and since then I am deleting all of the ~74 GB cache files.
On a default installation this is a non acceptable behavior. Please fix this for the next release.
Thank you.

Please note that there is no bug, so there is nothing to fix. You have large forum and you set vBET to completely cache it in 52 different languages. This is what vBET made. vBET do not support caching on external resources and such thing would have no sense, because sending it and getting it back would be more costly than normal generation of page. So you must use your own resources for file cache.

Please note that you can set to ignore additional pages in Guest Cache by Ignore in Full File Cache For Guests or just turn it off completely if your server has not enough resources to use this feature. By default vBET ignores those pages: register,search,login,attachment,tags.
You can add some more pages to ignore - those will not be cached, so those will not be stored in files and those will generate normally each time taking more of your CPU and memory resources. This is something for something. Performance savings comes from storing results in static files and you must have place for that or tune Guest Cache up (by ignoring more type of pages).

We are open for suggestions. If you have any suggestions how to improve vBET Guest Cache functionality, we will be happy to consider it and improve if it will be accepted

Also – if you find that automatic cache cleaner do not work for cache files – please note it as bug.
