I just upgraded BT0.2.0 to BT0.3.8 and the first time I tried seeding a torrent, my available memory dropped from around 400M to between 9M-100M, usually hovering around 30M. The memory did not appear to be freed after the hash checking finished. After shutting down BT and restarting, BT took a more reasonable amount of memory (I had about 350M available).
However, with two torrents running (a seed, the other a leech), I appear to be slowly losing memory. When I first started the second torrent, I had a little over 300M of memory available. In the past 10 minutes or so, I've gone down to about 240MB. I haven't opened any other programs since starting BT.
I have a Dell Dimension, 512MB, P4 2.8 GHz, XP Home SP 1.
In Win XP Pro, Athlon, 512 MB memory. Resuming 1 4 GB torrent I've watched my
Available memory in task manager gradually reduce from a high of 344 mb on startup to 50 mb^^ ~ 15 minutes later. Is this memory behavior less worse in prior versions of Tornado? If so how may I downgrade.
Also, have some people tried some of the Shadow's suggestions on the first page? like disabling disk buffering. What has worked for you guys, please share.
