I cannot reproduce this happening with the standard settings on Azureus with a torrent with 100 connections. It uses about 35MB resident - shared memory on startup, and uses about 50MB with a torrent running.
Comparing with Deluge, it's roughly the same overall memory usage with active torrents, Deluge is slightly more friendly at RAM but uses more CPU power for some reason. With that said, Azureus was not designed with extreme lightness in mind, it does use RAM to optimize performance of torrenting, and modern PC's should have more than ample resources to handle it. -- Azureus hangs or crashes showing splash screen at start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/57875 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
