NewBest Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 I have a serious problem with BitTorrent 7.9.5, build 41074. I am running Windows 7 x64, and if I leave my computer idle for about 3 hours, BitTorrent will fill up all my RAM memory (4 GB). I have 35 torrents (seeding). If I exit BitTorrent, the RAM usage gets from ~95% to ~30% (the normal idle usage). Can you fix this problem? Or, can I do anything about it?

Harold Feit Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Is it actually the bittorrent.exe process eating the ram? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBest Posted September 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 I collected some data.http://i.imgur.com/9viTrrx.pngOn the right is my Task Manager at 19:20, right after I started BitTorrent. On the left, is 23:34 with BitTorrent running all this time and computer mostly idle all the time between. You can see the ram usage...If I would have started Google Chrome (a very RAM demanding browser), it would have rapidly went to about 95%. In idle, it doesn't seem to go above 85% (or it goes, but very slowly).Another thing that I have noticed, depending on the speed the torrents are uploaded (I am seeding), the RAM usage of BitTorrent.exe modifies, but the overall usage is constant. http://i.imgur.com/Z05mcMx.pngThis picture was taken right after the second one. You can see the change in physical memory... If needed, I would be happy to provide any additional data... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 In short, it's the windows disk cache eating the ram and not actually BitTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBest Posted September 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 What can I do about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Not a lot. Windows likes using ram for disk cache when other applications aren't actively requesting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
