Memory Leak - Multiple WebUIs open simultaneously

#20675 (comment) seems to see the same issue

@Jorsher
Are you able to reproduce with qbt v5?

I'll likely just wait until 5.0 is released. Spent a lot of time building it from source (boost, lt, qt6 as well), wasn't loading my existing torrents.db, and then trying to add a torrent manually was causing a crash. I'm sure that I either built it wrong or used the wrong version of a dependency (latest on all). I don't think the AppImage is an option since I run these headless.

Easy enough to just open one client at a time in the browser. A couple people I've asked with multiple clients:

• one that access them through the same IP but different port encountered the same issue
• one that accesses them through different IPs did not encounter the issue

I can confirm that accessing WebUI's via different subnets prevents memory leaks. I've updated my most recent post accordingly.

My qbit server has two IP's on separate subnets (192.168.0.xxx and 192.168.100.xxx), so I never got memory leaks when I had only two instances because each qbit instance was using a different subnet. Adding a third instance cause the memory leaks because it was using the same ip as another instance (different ports).

@Jorsher Are you able to reproduce with qbt v5?

I tested this in qbit v5 and was able to reproduce the issue. I tested it on Ubuntu Server 24.04 with the v5 .appimage posted on the qbit website.

Per my previous comment, here are two htop screenshots showing memory usage after having two WebUI sessions open simultaneously for over 28hr continuously. These qbit instances each has only a single 600MB torrent seeding (a Debian ISO) and it's not a very active torrent for me. These screenshots were taken roughly 18hr apart.
