Sure, no problem. But if these bugs are already known before commiting, it
would be nice to find them in the ChangeLog.
(That would prevent some bug-posts here, too).

The memory consumption is not the only problem. Look here:

-rw-r--r--    1 donkey   donkey   80414691 2003-01-10 09:36 file_sources.ini

80MB(!)
If these stay so big, it would be better to on-the-fly zip them (lower I/O
load, faster exits).

max_sources_per_file is 300, 25 files downloading, max_clients_per_second
is 5.

Memory Consumption at 305MB (after 12 Minutes *g*)
