Bug Report

Operating system: Debian Stretch
Node Version: v8.11.3
Dat Version: 13.11.3

Expected behavior

I’m trying to run dat on a fairly constrained VPS. I need to be able to sync about 50 GB over about 25000 files and about as many symbolic links. Files range in size from under 1 KB to over 1 GB.

Expected behavior is dat share scanning the files and sharing them without using too much memory / CPU.

Actual behavior

dat pegs the CPU at 100% and memory usage quickly grows until it gets to about ~256 MB of res memory, and then gets killed by the OS.

This should be fixed in the latest beta, see github.com/andrewosh/hyperdrive-daemon to test it out

[link corrected]

Is this project built on dat? It’s not clear to me from the documentation. Perhaps some clarification of what that project’s relationship to this one is would be useful in the README.
