Okay this is the situation, I have a torrent that's finished downloading (4GB). I'm experiencing extremely high physical memory usage when loading the file for seeding. When looking at the Performance tab under Windows Task Manager I only have 25% of memory remaining of the 1GB of RAM I have after the file has been loaded. However if I press finish and reload the same file again the memory 'eating' doesn't occur, only when I load the file for the first time that large amount of memory becomes used up and BT doesn't give it back after it's done loading the file. Is there anyone else experiencing this problem? To see if you have this problem try restarting your computer, open windows task manager, and click on 'performance' tab and look at your available physical memory. Now load a torrent you want to seed (use a big file somewhere around 600MB - 1GB) while still focusing on the available physical memory see if it rises dramtically while loading the file and see if the memory frees itself back up after the file is done loading. Here is my system configuration:
winxp pro sp1
1gb of pc3200 ram
463GB of total hdd space (2x 74gb RAID 0, remaining for backup)
All drivers, bios, firmware, etc have been updated to its lastest version
I recently reinstalled windows 3 days ago.
