hi
i am using 0.31.2 on win 7 x64 RC.
for a long time i got no problem and i am very pleased with it.
about 2 weeks ago i tried to add a few very large items to the download queue
these are very large nzb with lots of items inside each with a total size of 50-150 gb.
they were created using binsearch.info where i used the search field with a topic results with lots of item, than i selected all results and created an nzb file.
after that:
1. when i opened abz, it started with a high memory footprint (above 100mb)
2. the memory kept growing to nearly 1gb very quickly, even when most of these items were in pause mode.
3. cpu was around 50% most of the time (using intel e8500)
4. from time to time i got a message box with an "access violation" error.
5. i tried to close abz and reopen it, the log tab get filled with lots red lines with "access violation" (at some address)
6. even when i tried to delete these large items from the queue and leave it empty the problems still persisted.
the only way to overcome these problems was to close abz and delete the queue.abz and queue.abz.prevcopy which got to a size of about 8mb each.
now everything seems to works fine as it should be.
my concern is that it seems the abz can't seem to handle very large queue items, and there is some code running at the background handling items in the queue even when they are paused, allocating memory for them without releasing it.
here is just an example from the log file (the start of it):

and on and on and on....
how to reproduce:
just got to binsearch.info, search for something that return lots of results, select all and create an nzb. monitor abz memory usage and cpu usage, look in the log for errors.....
