Memory Leak in program

[Zero3K]

After using it to download 20+ videos, the memory usage of it goes up by around 30-40 MBs.

[Benjamin]

all the memory is not freed in order to create a memory cache.
This way the memory is already allocated and does not need to do it for every access.

[Zero3K]

A cache for what? I still think that its usage of memory can be improved upon.

[Benjamin]

the cache is used to not re-allocate the memory

[Zero3K]

I don't understand what that means. I think that if it no longer needs that section of RAM, it should be freed.

[Zero3K]

Well, I've been noticing it using 1+ GB of RAM in the past. I REALLY think you should fix it so the memory usage stays the same.

[LouisM]

Is it still happening with the latest pre-release version?
What's the site you downloaded from? Were you converting several items?

[Zero3K]

Also, I think that the memory it uses when just ran needs to be less. I noticed it taking up 60 MB when it should only take up 20-30 MB.

[Benjamin]

the memory manager of the application use a cache in order to optimize the future allocations that why you see a large memory allocation in your task manager but it can be freed at any time.

[Zero3K]

Why doesn't it get freed then? I notice it staying at 1 or more GB unless I exit it and re-run it.

[Benjamin]

it is not freed in order to optimize the memory allocation needed by the software, if your system needs more memory it will be freed.

[Zero3K]

Hmm, maybe the memory usage increasing because of the log it is keeping in its cache.
