Autoimport freeze after 10-20hands (PStars)

[PitbullRiga]

Hello!
First of all - if there is only one duplicate hand pt4 freeze.
I manualy delete all hands in folder. Restart.
After 20-30.hands auto import stops (or continue only one table).

I have i7- 3770, 8gb ram, ssd - import speed - 55h/s. I dont know what to do.
My frend on old athlon, 2gb, hdd, have 500-600h/s with HM2.

postgres - newest version.
Can someone sugest me what to do?

I suspect that you don't have the import set up correctly so you're only getting the 30 observed hands we're allowed to import.
Please read the PokerStars Configuration Guide to make sure you have everything set up correctly.

Import speeds are not comparable between PT4 and HM2 as they use a different mechanism - read this post for more information.

What exact version of PostgreSQL do you have?
Neither 9.1 or 9.2 are supported as they have problems which are known to affect PT4. If you're using one of those you will need to uninstall it and revert to 9.0.

Thanks!

1. uninstall 9.2 pgress
2. manually delete PGres directories
3.restart
4. try to install pgres 9.0. (C: )
5. error msg Fatal error: unable to create pgres/data folder etc.
6.retry 2x
7. do same on F: - no problem
hh import speed still 2x slower then before :(

Is there a option remove/delete manually imported hands?

Do you mean that your imports are slower in PT4 than they were before? Are you importing the same type of hands as before? Different types of hands, or different sites, can be a bit different. Is your database significantly bigger than it was before?

You can remove hands using Database > Purge Hands. Purging is quite an involved process so if you want to get rid of a significant proportion of your database you may find it faster to create a new database and import the hands you want to keep.

1. Same type, same site. Bur db is bigger.
2. No. I mean - is there a way to auto delete imported hands history *.txt files from folder.

Manual Import (Get Hands From Disk) does not move files automatically as normally this is used to import from an archive.
If you have a large number of hand history files in their original hand history folders which you want to import and archive you can do that with Tools > Setup Assistant, by running through the site configuration.
