SWAP usage is 7GB on 64bit OS & qbt

[slrslr]

Qbittorrent 4.1.8 64bit, Windows 10 64bit

Is it necessary for qbt to use 6.5MB of SWAP per active(resumed) torrent?

don't use qBittorrent on Windows for a long time, but looks very strange: about dialog says that qBittorrent is 64bit, but executable is run from "Program Files (x86)", which usually contains only 32bit executables.

Kolcha, it should not make any difference per this page. Quoting:

• "you can install a 32-bit program in "Program Files" and a 64-bit program in "Program Files x86" and nothing will happen the program will run the same."
• "I've performed a significant amount of research, and have drawn the following conclusion, which I believe is accurate: It makes no difference where an application is stored. At runtime, Windows will determine if the application is 32-bit or 64-bit and automatically use the appropriate DLL's and registry section."
  but if devs think i should switch directories, let me know how i do it.

Are you sure this is correct? You're running a very outdated version of System Explorer that does not officially support Windows 10. Update to version 7. I'm not seeing excessive VM usage on my system using the same qBT version and Windows 10, I have a 1GiB cache set up.

@Ryrynz, yes i am sure. other 2 apps reports same values. Moreover my qbt was restarted in like 24 hours, so no long runtime and i am sleeping my computer.
Now 1 day later after i resumed 56 more torrents awaking computer i see the SWAP/Private bytes is like 10.9GB (i am having 16GB RAM),. 10955/1144 resumed torrents = 9.57MB SWAP/Private bytes per resumed torrent. Most torrents having more than 15 trackers. I expect average is 20.

Try 4.2 Beta, 4.2 final is due in the next few weeks.

@Ryrynz I believe part of the problem is the settings used & the use of a version of OS Build that is no longer supported by microsoft themselves. Have advised in #9366

[xavier2k6]

possibly also related to #12326

Closing as duplicate/superseded by #12326, or probably already fixed in the meantime. So far, with recent master commits + libtorrent >= 1.2.9 there have no complaints about memory leaks.
