On Linux Mandrake 9.0, sdk 1.4.1, phex 0.8.0.31, I am having a massive memory problem.

It eats and eats memory, although it has never quit on my by itself. I have 1GB RAM, and phex uses about 700MB RAM. When I exit phex (which is rather slow to respond by now), it responds with a couple of OutOfMemory lines and that 700MB is never returned. I have to reboot to get it back. (I don't have a clue why that is. The shell prompt returns, indicating that "java" has exited. Thus, its memory should have been freed.)

If I run with these options:
-verbose:gc -Xmx128m
Phex seems to be much better about its memory usage.

By the way, I was having trouble with mixed up segments of files. In downloading several mpegs simultaneously, some segments are mixed up between the mpegs. I don't necessarily blame phex though, because I can't guarantee that the downloaded files were intact from their sources.

After the mixed up files problem, I deleted phexdownload.xml and all the partial files, then continued to experience the memory problem discussed above.
