Memory leak on REALLY BIG torrents

Post by NEETzsche »

Hi there.

I'm trying to run Transmission on a really big torrent, like 1.7T big. It's got a ton of files on it, too. Hundreds, thousands, and they're each about 1GB in size. If I just let it run, my RAM runs out and my computer crashes. This only happens with really big torrents like this. I'm using Windows 10.

What should I do?

What version Transmission?

"RAM runs out" ... VM shouldn't run out. How much free space do you have on your VM volume?

If you open the Inspector and select only a portion of the files, does the problem still occur?

Who in their left mind created a torrent that absurdly large?
