Howdy, As most know, I got a much faster internet and I use torrent software, quite a lot. I was using Ktorrent and it was OK but it was slow. I started using Qbittorrent and like it better in a way but it has its own speed issues and both affect my desktop response. I did some googling and used top to figure out that they are using a LOT of memory for cache. At times, it uses well over half my memory just for cache. It also gets to a point where it is using swap even tho I have swappiness set to 1, basically use swap only to prevent a crash from out of memory problems. We all know how slow swap use can make things. As it is, I reduced the number of active files which is not something I want to do. If I receive, I like to send as well. After all, someone sent to me as well. What I would like to do is limit the amount of memory torrent software can use. I don't know exactly how to do that tho. It's not something I've ever done.
Is this something I do on the command line or a setting is some file somewhere? I don't even know where to start on this. By the way, I'm maxed out at 32GBs of memory for this mobo. So adding memory isn't a option. Is there even a mobo that has a 64GB option??? :/ Dale :-) :-)
