Yikes. Were you running lots of other things on the computer? That certainly looks like a memory leak.

[YoThisBling]

LimeWire was my only program I had running at the time and it was using up alot of cpu!

[Sam]

Could you list the size of the files in your limewire preferences directory? (On Windows, this is preferably at C:\Documents And Settings\<user>\Application Data\LimeWire, though maybe at C:\Documents And Settings\<user>\.limewire.)

[YoThisBling]

The size of the .limewire folder is 8.95MB.

[Sam]

Are you able to list how large each file is? The folder size doesn't tell too much.

[YoThisBling]

I have 4 PNG images, 1 at 58.9kb, 1 at 46.1kb, 1 at 47.9kb, and 1 at 46.8kb.

Awesome, thanks very much.

I had thought maybe some cached files were very big and that was eating up a lot of memory, but looks like that was a wrong guess. I have some other hunches about what could be using too much memory.

[Sam]

The 4.11.4 beta (now released, changelog will be forthcoming Monday) has lots of memory improvements. Could you give this beta a try and see if it reduces any memory burdens?

Thanks.
