I do have the SafePeer plugin installed with the bluetack blocklist, and had three active torrents, but my settings are pretty modest. It usually takes a few minutes to really start gobbling memory, but I find even 50 MB to be 18 MB too many when I've explicitly set -Xmx32m in /usr/bin/azureus. A java program that ignores jvm parameters makes me wary. That said, if I could keep it at 50 MB, I would probably still use it, but it pretty rapidly gets over that. Since the laptop I'm using only has 196MB, azureus is usually using a lot of swap if I let it run overnight. That's why I call it a memory leak. It seems to be using memory that it shouldn't even have access to, or even a possible use for. Why could it possibly need 100MB? I even followed the azureus FAQ for reducing memory usage -- didn't help at all. It eats and eats.
