mldonkey IS leaking all over the place. I have tested with 2.5.28 and 2.5.22 on UltraSparc with 2.4.27. i386 with 2.4.27 and 2.6.8.1. and ocaml 3.07-r1 and 3.08.1.

I have the same problem all memory is claimed and not released when the core3 is killed. I haven't ran the gui on either of the machines... I will sit down and see if I can find the leak, but don't hold your breath. I normally code on Windows.

What version of ocaml are the people who dont have memleaks running?

PS. Only donkey and overnet enabled.

Some networks (i.e. Gnutella) have known memory leaks, here RAM usage is stable.

One user on the german forum reported 90MB stable RAM usage during 7 days with 2.5-16m which included patch 2806, so please try a patched version or the most current version which ATM is 2-5-20.

One user reported on MLDonkey world that the core uses less memory with this patch.

i also have 512mb memory but mldonkey uses only 4%.

though mlnet does seem to have a slight leak it doesnt pass 10% for me even after long runs ( a month ).

check that setting relating to memory are propely set.
compaction_overhead shoudld be set low ( i use 5 default is 25 ), use_file_history and save_file_history should be off, for example.

if you use mlgui on the same machine you might notice that it eats more memory then mlnet.

I used to have mldonkey running in a box with 64MB, and had no problems even with thousands of sources.  But since the last releases, the memory usage of mldonkey grows beyond bounds.

Right now its sucking 90% of a 512 MB box with less than 1000 sources and 3 days of uptime, and therefore I suspect a memory leak.
