Hi fols !

My DSL does funny things when run a while ! when i let him do his Download job arround 24h he "Spams" Mem and Swap. is there an command/programm in linux which optimizes my Ram / clear out unneeded thing ? Maybe to add as a cron job.

Try using JWM instead of Fluxbox (change the window manager from the menu). There have been reports of a memory leak when using Fluxbox with XVesa server.

Also, you can try:

CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE

and then

xsetup.sh

and choose the xfbdev server and then type

startx

and see if it helps.

If you type

ps -a

what processes are running?

Or better yet:

top

i have tried several programs, all are running fine until the ram/swap is full. when i kill the tasks which are using the mem the task shuts down. but the memory it has used wont freed.
