Vuze/MacOS X: Too many open files

1) How can I stop Vuze from reporting the following error: "Too many open files" ?

2) What directory do I need to be in to effectively utilize this command:
sudo bash -c 'ulimit -n 8192; sudo -u username ./azureus' ?

3) Is this the maximum number of files that I can allot to Vuze on OS X (8192)?

*Note that the first 2 questions are more important to me.

I notice that when I type the following command into the Terminal (in Snow Leopard): launchctl limit maxfiles 10200

that it will effectively replace the default value of 256 with the larger value of 10200. However, I still receive the "Too many open files" error and the command doesn't work beyond that value. Is there a reason for that?

I was able to raise kern.maxfiles to 1,000,000 but I still can't raise launchctl limit maxfiles nor ulimit -n beyond 10,200. Is there a reason for this enormous discrepancy? I'm running Snow Leopard with the latest updates.

I am interested in knowing if anyone out there has been using the BSD UNIX that underlies MacOS X. Is this an "industrial strength" version of UNIX? Can I run X-Windows on such a machine? How about TeXing, pythoning, PERLing or using other useful UNIX goodies near and dear to my shrunken...

why，just beacuse that its the bottom layer uses a small amount of bsd code? In my opinion, macos and Unix are completely different. The directories are long directory structures. For example, /application, /system, /user, /volumes, etc. are completely different from the traditional /bin/ /sbin...

set_color

set_color(1)							       fish							      set_color(1)

NAME

       set_color - set_color - set the terminal color

set_color - set the terminal color
   Synopsis
       set_color [-v --version] [-h --help] [-b --background COLOR] [COLOR]

   Description
       Change the foreground and/or background color of the terminal. COLOR is one of black, red, green, brown, yellow, blue, magenta, purple,
       cyan, white and normal.

       o -b, --background Set the background color

       o -c, --print-colors Prints a list of all valid color names

       o -h, --help Display help message and exit

       o -o, --bold Set bold or extra bright mode

       o -u, --underline Set underlined mode

       o -v, --version Display version and exit

       Calling set_color normal will set the terminal color to whatever is the default color of the terminal.

       Some terminals use the --bold escape sequence to switch to a brighter color set. On such terminals, set_color white will result in a grey
       font color, while set_color --bold white will result in a white font color.

       Not all terminal emulators support all these features. This is not a bug in set_color but a missing feature in the terminal emulator.

       set_color uses the terminfo database to look up how to change terminal colors on whatever terminal is in use. Some systems have old and
       incomplete terminfo databases, and may lack color information for terminals that support it. Download and install the latest version of
       ncurses and recompile fish against it in order to fix this issue.
