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

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.

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

the cache is used to not re-allocate the memory

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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