Howdy, |

As most know, I got a much faster internet and I use torrent software, |
| 4 |
quite a lot. I was using Ktorrent and it was OK but it was slow. I |
| 5 |
started using Qbittorrent and like it better in a way but it has its own |
| 6 |
speed issues and both affect my desktop response. I did some googling |
| 7 |
and used top to figure out that they are using a LOT of memory for |
| 8 |
cache. At times, it uses well over half my memory just for cache. It |
| 9 |
also gets to a point where it is using swap even tho I have swappiness |
| 10 |
set to 1, basically use swap only to prevent a crash from out of memory |
| 11 |
problems. We all know how slow swap use can make things. As it is, I |
| 12 |
reduced the number of active files which is not something I want to do. |
| 13 |
If I receive, I like to send as well. After all, someone sent to me as |
| 14 |
well. What I would like to do is limit the amount of memory torrent |
| 15 |
software can use. I don't know exactly how to do that tho. It's not |
| 16 |
something I've ever done. |

Is this something I do on the command line or a setting is some file |
| 19 |
somewhere? I don't even know where to start on this. By the way, I'm |
| 20 |
maxed out at 32GBs of memory for this mobo. So adding memory isn't a |
| 21 |
option. Is there even a mobo that has a 64GB option??? :/ |
