I'm using Sabnzb 0.5 on my ReadyNas Duo and it is working well. Memory on the nas is upgrade to 1Gb
It startled me a bit at first that it initiated over 20 threads, but that shouldnt be a problem. Neither do I have any problem with Sabnzb using large amounts of memory when its very busy downloading lots of files.
What i do find problematic is that after a download is finished, and sabnzb is turning idle, empty queue and such, all the threads keep the memory they reserved for when they were busy. The 20+ threads keep 100k virtual mem reserved EACH!
Any way to tell them to let go of that memory (besides restarting of course!)?

Re: Keeping large amount of memory in threads
This is a generic problem with Python on Linux systems.
It's very reluctant to return memory to the OS.
BTW: any decent OS will swap out unused memory to disk,
so it shouldn't be a real problem.
On Windows and OSX we don't see this issue.
