maybe u have verbose on.. or auto-priority

[saxtro]

menù Preference default setting
- Tweaks
verbose is off

-Files
Add files to download with auto priority is on

must i put off  -add files to download with autopriority-?

[deltaHF]

try to set all files to normal priority (don't use any auto-prio and look if its better)

[saxtro]

in a few seconds from 789Mb free at 6,7Mb free ;(

[Xaignar]

Try running the command "free" before and after you have started aMule. Paste the output here.

[deltaHF]

does is also happen with 1.2.8 or 2.0rc5 too?

[Xaignar]

The largest part of the memory usage you is the kernel caching as much as it can, creating the effect that all memory has been used. Notice that the free value on the "-/+ buffers/cache" row changes from "849988" to "703428". That's still quite a lot though, around 150mb. =/

[deltaHF]

try:  ps u -C amule

[saxtro]

amule 1.2.8

@Xaignar: why only with aMule?

[deltaHF]

marco@Tron:~$ ps u -C amule
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
marco 1680 6.3 1.8 27016 16476 pts/1 R+ 02:12 0:10 amule

so ?

[saxtro]

ok deltaHF now the problem is:
why with amule all the memory is cached?
