DC++

Serious memory leak on Windows 7

Asked by Andaya

Running DC++ v0.75 on Windows 7 64 bits for several months: RAM usage grows exponentially until DC++ program crash. The more RAM installed, the longer time DC runs until application crash. For example with 4 GB RAM, the 3rd or 4th day DC crashes when nearing 2000 MB RAM usage. Despite very little DC activity RAM usage grows and grows. StrongDC doesn't exhibit this behaviour and RAM usage never goes beyond about 120 MBytes. I don't know if this problem is present on other Windows versions.

The bug is known (linked) and will be fixed in the next release. It strongly hits big sharers so you can find me at the usual place and ask for a pre-release build if you need one.

I missed that, I searched but apparently not good enough. Indeed it has to do with the filelist refreshing.
