Yeah, I'm trying to understand this as well. If I get high RAM usage without system performance/stability issues, then, does it mean that I'm fine? Does it mean that more RAM being used is better because it strains the hard drive less? And, can't you just raise the limit under Advanced Settings? It says 512MB in there. You can, I assume, raise that to something higher that you like. |

Thanks for your input. 90% of what I do is seeding 1000+ torrents on 2 separate laptops (8 GB and 16 GB of RAM). I already had to lower the "File pool size" to 200 from the default 5000. Because at the default of 5000 and after running for about 20+ hours, both laptops will increase the "Paged pool" (Task Manager) and pagefile.sys to 16+ GB; at which point, both laptops will become unstable/unresponsive and I had to hold down the power button to shut down. In other words, I could not shut down qBittorrent and/or Windows gracefully. This system instability happened with Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) and with qBittorrent 4.3.x and 4.4.x (64-bit). Like I said, I don't care if it shows "high" RAM usage as long as it's stable and I had to lower the "File pool size" to 200 to achieve this. At 300, qBittorrent UI becomes very laggy, maybe after 16+ hours of usage. I usually restart both laptops every day. This is what I've from yesterday, after 16+ hours of running: Laptop A (8 GB RAM; Windows 11 64-bit; 970 Seeding; ~ 120 Active) Laptop B (16 GB RAM; Windows 10 64-bit; 1181 Seeding; ~ 161 Active) Like I said, I'd like a simple option to "disable" this feature, so that Lib 2.x can work with the OS/kernel to allocate the RAM automatically, just like before this feature was introduced. |

Hi,
Is there a way to disable this feature? In other words, let's libtorrent 2.x do its default, which is letting the OS/kernel allocate as much RAM as it deems necessary. I guess I could put in a number that is equal to the system RAM, but was hoping an option to "disable".
I've not experienced the issue that this feature was intended to address. Sure, it shows "high" RAM usage (4.3.x and 4.4.x) in Task Manager, but there has been no performance or stability issue, so I didn't mind the "high" RAM usage.
Thank you,
