Generating thumbnails hangs/stops

[Artyom]

Hello

First of all thank you for your graet work!!!

I have a strabge problem. I have created a gallery, uploaded about 300 images, generating of thumbnails went fine and quickly. I have created another gallery ~ 70 foto, while generating thumbnails it did about 30 and then just balnk screen appeared, i clicked refresh and it finished fine. I created another one gallery about 300 foto and now this thumbnail generating issue appears constanly each 3-4 foto, I click refresh and it continues, sometimes i get 404 not found, click refresh and it moves forward again. All pictures in all albums have the same resolution, all taken during a weekend with one camera. I can't figure out why first 300 weny in 30 mins and now it took me 2 hours to generate thumbnails for 30 only 8(
Any ideas? Suggestions?
Joomla is 1.5.3, phoca is the last one 1.8.8
Thank you in advance.

Joomla is 1.5.3,

Do you know about the safety leak and that you should upload to 1.5.6? See http://www.joomla.org

Btw, I don't know why this generating thumbnails behaviour happens...

try to use the pagination thumbnail creating (parameter in global configuration) ... e.g. you will set 100 images per page and then only 100 image file names will be uploaded from database for checking if thumbnails for these images were created (maybe the information about all images in category slows down your server)
