I am running putty via a SOCKS5 proxy (without authentication) with a single dynamic forwarded port.

I then run Deluge and configure all 4 the proxy settings with SOCKS5,
127.0.0.1 and the above forwarded port.

I see putty memory utilization constantly increasing:-

$ ps aux | egrep -i "putty|mem"
USER       PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
jon       7419  0.6  1.0   7424  5208 ?        S    12:24   0:27 putty
$ ps aux | egrep -i "putty|mem"
USER       PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
jon       7419  0.6  1.0   7564  5252 ?        S    12:24   0:30 putty
$ ps aux | egrep -i "putty|mem"
USER       PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
jon       7419  0.6  1.0   7696  5348 ?        S    12:24   0:34 putty

It was up to 80+ Meg before I restarted it!
