fellas, i have a funny situation here.

i'm using bitcomet for my torrenting. my idle usage would be around 500/1000mb ram. after i leave my comp switched on, say 2-3hours, my idle usage left about 200/1000mb. my bitcomet tends to "eat" up my resources. this makes my comp a bit lag when i tried to open up other programs. all i have to do is reset my bitcomet, and its back to normal.
i've checked with a friend of mine, he torrents 24/7 and his bitcomet program is running fine, unlike mine (both using the same version). any opinions regarding this?

P/s i'm asking here 'cause i'm experiencing this situation with my laptop.

Change your client to utorrent le, bitcomet always got memory leak 1.

i cant use utorrent without port forwarding, i dunno why.
and i cant port forward, cause i'm sharing the line with other ppl.
i guess i'll try with the new version then. but i like the old version more, the interface looks better and easier to handle.
*
I tot the only reason we want to port forward is when we share the line with other ppl. haha

Wahaha...look what i got from wikipedia..proves that steventan85 was involved with Dell in the early 2000s!  rclxms.gif  tongue.gif

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dell
From Marketing section:

A popular United States television and print ad campaign in the early 2000s featured the actor Ben Curtis playing the part of "Steven," a lightly mischievous blond-haired kid who came to the assistance of bereft computer purchasers. Each television advertisement usually ended with Steven's catch-phrase: "Dude, you're gettin' a Dell!" Dell fired Curtis shortly after his arrest for marijuana possession in 2003 on the Lower East Side of Manhattan; however, Dell denies that the firing resulted from his arrest, stating that the "Steven" ads had run for three years and characterizing them as "stale". The Dell ads featuring Curtis had stopped playing before his arrest, thus lending credence to Dell's statement.

I think that was the old dell, the dell that I'm using do not get heated up easily. But i think a DIY cooler is more efficient than the one on the market
