High RAM / Memory Usage #31

Closed kk-Chiron closed 3 years ago

kk-Chiron commented 4 years ago

So I'm using a batch file but the script isn't that memory efficent. It's increasing quite hard with every single storie (dk why exactly but seems like everything downloaded is getting cached?!) So I'am sure it you can optimize it, becouse for now sadly I can't run a file bigger than 400acc+-

Try the latest version, i added extra line to handle urllib cache cleanup in https://github.com/notcammy/PyInstaStories/commit/ce415e87f5eb4ca54b844e232f03146f8f18bf4b Not sure if it'll help though because i dont have a list big enough to test with. Batch download was never intended for so many accounts

@notcammy Didn't worked for me but still thanks. Managed to get it through a secondary program cleaning my memory every x minutes automatically.
