Why is WebTorrent Using all my memory on my iMac ? all 32 gigs of it?

I would have close this issue for 4 reasons

• you didn't fill in the issue template
• you didn't describe what you did that caused the memory to fill up
• you basically didn't put in any effort in to writing a decent issue, the comment is the same as the title.
  Think of a meaningful title, don't write the hole issue in the title. or vise versa.
• Have you tried debugging exactly where all the memory goes to? (using chrome memory devtools) we don't know exactly what you did that caused the memory to fill up. and how to reproduce the problem. Was it due to a lot of peers? many files? many torrents? was it WebRTC or just regular peers? node or browser?
• did you use any chunk storage to save all data? otherwise all data is stored in the memory

A better example:

WebTorrent is using a lot of memory.

I have a iMac with 32GB ram and when added 50 torrent files (14 of which is paused) WebTorrent 0.103.2 uses all available memory and then later chrome crashes.

All 50 torrents sums up to roughly 120 gb in total. And i'm connected to roughly 500 WebRTC peers.

Don't be lazy! close the issue and start over. If possible add some code showing us what you did

Its a memory leek. Debug it yourself it’s not hard and then fix it, don’t be lazy.
