1 If a tool is not working the way it should I chuck it and find one that

20 I've been playing with this a bit before replying. There's not many
21 options with ktorrent. I did find a older version of libtorrent tho. I
22 downgraded to that. It still increases at times but then seems to
23 return a more normal amount. It does act strange still but not as bad
24 as it was. I think you have the right idea tho. It does seem to be a
25 memory leak somewhere.

27 I'll keep playing with this some more and post if I come up with anything.
