Hello,

I use emule 0.49b under ubuntu(wine) . I have only kademlia active.
My computer has 1.5 go of ram.
When i launch it, the memory usage is around 150 Mo, one day later it is about 300 Mo and after 3 day 1.2 Go when my upload is at 50 ko/s.
At 20 ko/s it take nearly a week to raise the same level of memory usage.

Somebody has seen the same problem?

Long life to emule

Maybe it's a general Wine issue?
It's not on the eMule devs to ensure it works there...

Perhaps, but does it mean that this does not occur on Windows?
I have no easy way to test it.

If there was a memory leak of that efficiency, it would've been reported yet...

The only memory leak problem I have found so far was with the NVIDIA firewall that caused eMule to gobble RAM with a veengence. Dumping that has cured the problems on Windows XP x64.

Hello and Happy New Year !!!

Yup same problem here, emule 0.49b running on Debian etch/wine 1.1.1. the machine is a PIII@800Mhz with 512Mb RAM (1Gb of swap).

The machine runs for couple of days but emule ends up eating all memory.

Can we do some thing to reduce memory usage (well change this behaviour) or maybe change some settings in wine (something missing in the register ?) ?

Hello guys,
I have the same problem!!!
my emule's version is the same (0.49b), Debian lenny/wine 1.1.13, the machine is the same except on the swap, I have 2Gb instead of 1Gb .
The machine runs for a couple of days but emule ends up eating all the memory (2Gb's swap included).
Please help me, I'm nearly desperate!

P.S:
Please read this discussion from http://markmail.org/...iu3d5ricpagw6it

emule 0.48a on a from-source-compiled-without-compiler-optimizations Wine 1.1.7
uses excessive (infinite) amounts of memory with an estimated consumption rate
of 1MB/minute until the system runs out of memory, I have yet to test other
versions of either wine or emule, but I suspect this:

wine or emule versions do not matter, there will always be a memory leak, and it
is obvious that it is not a wine problem, but rather an emule problem, fact is
that alote of programs work fine, the reason that I mention this here, is
because noone else does, and because I heard that wine should be able to
overcome some of the flaws in windows programs, and because I was wondering if
this is one of them

Does this occur under Windows?

as far as I can remember, yes, but there are 2 differences, it is not in the way
memory in windows as it is "kernel paged pool", and it is also not 1MB/minute,
it's about 1/10th 1/20th of that. also sometimes in windows it does not do that
at all, practically, emule runs about 2 weeks before all memory on the system
runs out, while on linux only about 8/12 hours with same amount of memory "

[Some Support]

There are no known memory leaks in eMule. Reports now and then seen in the Support section are mostly related to installed Firewall-, Security-, Antivirussoftware which fail to handle the situation properly or trojans/malwares/spyware/modified winsock versions.
The point that other programs on wine work fine is not excactly a proof that it is eMule's problem because the only question here is if this problem appears also under Windows. So at this point i consider this as wine problem and we are not going to work on this - we really cannot invest extra ressources to ensure wine compability, sorry.

Thank you for the answer,
I'have reported the bug in the Wine Bug Database. If there are other people that use eMule with Wine, please vote this bug.

Nice to hear.

I've been using eMule with Wine for more than a year and never had such memory issues.
