I've been running mlnet for ~5 days, and according to top, its using 47% (375 MB) of memory. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start up mldonkey .. 2.Let it run 3. Actual Results: It uses a _lot_ of RAM. I haven't tried to reproduce it yet, due to the fact that this is the first time I've used it ... and it takes a few days to occur.

I've been running MLNet this time, almost three days. Same problem. I figured possibly mlnet simply needed the resources (after filing the last bug) due to a very popular transfer, but ..

It required an upgrade to ocaml. Just run: # sh /usr/portage/dev-lang/ocaml/files/ocaml-rebuild.sh and remerge those suckers, then the updated mldonkey should build fine. That or # emerge dev-ml/lablgtk dev-ml/lablgl =net-p2p/mldonkey-2.5.16-r8

found this bug while searching for whether a bug was filed because of mldonkey not emerging... mlnet's only taking up 4 mb in my system... athlonxp1700+ 256m ram
In all honesty, this bug took quite a bit of time and effort to track. My solution to the problem was simply to just quit using it in favor of other programs. To the previous poster: how long have you let it run? Looking through my previous posts it looks like I forgot to mention the time frame. If I remember correctly, it took a few days before mlnet began producing noticeable drag on my system due to its resource usage. Let it run continuously for a few days and post back with your results. chance
I've been running mldonkey-2.5.19-r9, almost three days. Same problem (memory leak). I'm not tried with 2.5.2x (hard masked) (Sorry, I'm not speak english very well)
This problem should have been fixed in latest versions, at least in 2.5.16v and 2.5.28s1.
I have to restart mldonkey almost daily now. Typically reaches about > 700 Meg before things get really bad, but this week things have gotten worse... I have net-p2p/mldonkey-2.5.16-r10 installed. I'm not sure if searching has anything to do with the memory leak... I typically do my searches, start the downloads, save, kill the core, and then restart it. It's gotten so bad, I now have a script which sacks it at noon each day and restarts it... Is this a gentoo ebuild problem or is it the original code that has the issue (i.e. I should shut my trap and go find the program's bugzilla to yap on) from top after it's been running for a few hours...

could you check if in 2.6.2 this problem still occur?
Waiting for tests
