Checklist

[X] I have searched the issue tracker for open issues that relate to the same problem, before opening a new one.
[X] This issue only relates to a single bug. I will open new issues for any other problems.

Description

If you transfer a 10gb file with Rymdport, at 20% through the transfer Rymdport uses 2gb of memory, 50% through it uses 5gb, etc.

This characteristic makes Rymdport unusable for large transfers as it will exhaust the available memory in the system.

Steps to Reproduce

Transfer a large directory with Rymdport, observe memory usage during transfer.

Thanks for reporting this. Would you mind checking if this also is a problem with https://github.com/psanford/wormhole-william? I'm only passing in a reader and hence I think that it might be keeping hold of previously sent data.
