Rclone size results in error

I am using version

rclone v1.52.0
- os/arch: linux/amd64
- go version: go1.14.3

I tried to get the size of an http directory and it resulted in the following error

Can you post the full debug log with -vv?

Yes please! The important bit of that error message is above!

the terminal gets full with the error, I had to CTRL+C to get the below errors

The error looks to be OS related as you ran out of open file descriptors.

You would need to check your ulimits and increase that.

I am running rclone in namecheap's shared hosting.

isn't there some way I can limit rclone to suit my systems capacity ?

What are the limits on your shared seedbox?


That doesn't tell me much unfortunately as it's OS config that would have those limits.

You can try running with smaller checkers and transfers and see if that works:

rclone size remote: --transfers -1 --checkers 1
