Running: file /opt/FreeFileSync/FreeFileSync
Shows:
/opt/FreeFileSync/FreeFileSync: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, stripped

I just installed the Linux version at https://freefilesync.org/download.php so whatever that installs is what I am running.

I am doing a File Content Comparison between my local files and an FTP server and FFS will reliably get killed by Windows and Linux after a few minutes. Please fix this 😭

Screenshot show memory usage at 16GB and climbing!

Correction:
I just used the application on Windows and now it too has the OOM issue! Please fix this :'(

Same problem here running in Linux with version 14.10 paid edition. After a while doing a File Content compare between y local directory and an internal FTP server. Linux will kill FreeFileSync because it is trying to use too much memory. Windows version has no issue.
