BitComet memory leak or something?

[homercles337]

The longer BitComet runs the more memory it occupies. I tihnk i understand how torrents work and this should not be happening, right? I actually ran out of virtual last night. Im going to switch to uTorrent as soon as these torrents are done, but why else would this be happening except for a memory leak or something?

BTW, i have 1G of memory and let windows adjust virtual.

Edit: in about an hour it has gone from 181K to just over 190K--current PF is peaked.

uTorrent FTW! 😛

Unless you set the cache to somthing higher, it'll probably never use more then 10mb (i'm talking about utorrent).

Edit: BTW read this and do most of what it says (especally the half-open connections thing) it'll really increase utorrent speed. And the newer version has some of the options are in the tabbed advance instead of just advanced when the guide was written

Edit2: Yes it sounds like a memory leak (probably a bug)

Still waiting for these torrents to finish before the move to uTorrent. There also seems to be a disconnect between U/D rate and the %. For the record, i recently upgraded to 0.7, clearly this is memory leak/bug. Stupid BitComet...


Edit: thanks for the link to imporving speed wizboy.

BitComet is using 195K, but paging is 2.2 GB. It also takes minutes (~10 minutes!) for BC to close, im guessing because it doesnt know what to do with all the leaked info. Does this logic make sense? Regardless BC is heading for the rubbish bin... 🙂

uTorrent is not campatible with "nVidia Firewall" that appears to be installed on your computer.

WTF? uTorrent is not compatible with my hardware firewall? Thats lame. I wonder if its just nVidia or all hardware firewalls? Suggestions?
