Howdy all, I been using Ktorrent for several months now. When I started using it, it used only a few hundred megabytes of ram and was running for a week or so without a restart. It rarely even showed up in top when sorted by memory usage. Certainly true when several Firefox browser profiles are open and running. Recently tho, it is using a lot more memory. Once it was several GBs and I had to close and restart Ktorrent to clear it up. It runs with a more normal memory usage for a while but then starts building up again. Once I get something downloaded, I copy it from the folder it downloads to over to other directories where I rename and organize things. Only active downloads remain listed within Ktorrent. This is from top. This is after less than a day of run time, likely around 12 hours or so.

I suspect the problem may be a dependency of Ktorrent and not Ktorrent itself, even tho it shows Ktorrent using the memory. I'm not quite sure how that could be but since Ktorrent itself hasn't changed, well, makes me wonder. Anyone else having this problem or have a idea of the cause? Could it be a USE flag that I can disable? I can disable things I don't use if needed. Is it something Ktorrent depends on that is causing this? Ideas? Thoughts? Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
