qBittorrent official forums

I use qBittorrent ver. 2.8.5, and after some time it starts to consume all available memory. What data can I send to help solve the problem?
OS: ArchLinux
Sorry for my English, Google Translate

Hi,

Do you have RSS enabled? If you do, you could try disabling it and see if it helps.

You can also try the same for other optional modules (Search, log viewer). It would be helpful to identify the source of the memory leak.
It is likely you have a non-default setting enabled which triggers the memory leaking. I run qBittorrent in valgrind memory checker tool regularly and make sure there are no memory leaks (however, I cannot test all the settings).

Please explain the PageFileUsage. It has increased linearly with time since CreationDate. (%AppData%/qBittorrent/qBittorrent.ini is default.)

filever qbittorrent.exe && sha1sum qbittorrent.exe && wmic process get Name,CreationDate,PageFileUsage,PeakPageFileUsage|grep qbittorrent && date -u +%FT%TZ && ver
--a-- W32i    -  -              -  - 15,964,160 09-14-2012 qbittorrent.exe

What does this have to the memory leak in ArchLinux? Please post in the correct section (Windows i presume).

Are you under the impression that C++ memory allocation and freeing occurs differently if compiled for Windows instead of Linux?

Because a memory leak is a clearly definable software design issue it's of benefit to discuss all such design instances in the same thread.

If your problem with qB is under Windows - post in Windows section. If your problem with qB is under some Linux distribution - post in Linux section. If you want to discuss C++ related problems - post in the Generic section.

I cannot confirm this. No linear increase, only issues described here http://qbforums.shiki.hu/index.php?topic=997.0

As for OP post. 2.8.5 is way outdated. Try using a newer one, maybe from AUR.

Topic is outdate, closing it.
