 +===== Maximum Open Files ===== 
 +**Question:**\\ 
 +Why am I getting ''ERROR 24 (Too many open files)'' failures when Synchronet tries to open files and how do I resolve that? 
 + 
 +**Answer:**\\ 
 +You need to increase your maximum open file count. Run ''ulimit -n'' as the user you run Synchronet as to display the current open file limit. 
 + 
 +On Linux, edit ''/etc/security/limits.conf'' to edit the default limit for all users:

 +<file limits.conf>
