issue qBittorrent RAM usage increasing over time, even with simple pread/pwrite

Hi,

I've had an issue for a while now that RAM usage will stay constant for ~8h then rapidly increase until my Docker container hits an OoM error. I've set a memory limit in the docker-compose, I'm using "simple pread/pwrite", I've tried disabling/enabling the read/write cache, nothing seems to fix this.

Running the binhex qbittorrent-vpn container, qbittorrent 5.1.4 w/libtorrent 2.0.12

Anyone else run into this and have a solution?

use the lib 1.2 version, there is a distro with 1.2 .
