File transfer: Way to much memory being used!

[metalstorm]

Hi all,

I'm starting a project and testing the waters, I have a simple client and
server and am trying to transfer a file between them, thats all fine, apart
from the server is using way to much memory.

If i send a 1.4GB file, it will use 2.2GB+ of RAM, here's the logic to send
a file.

	@Override
	public void channelConnected(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, ChannelStateEvent
e) throws IOException
	{

		Channel ch = e.getChannel();


		File myFile = new File("E:\\somewhere\\BigFile.iso");
		if (myFile.exists())
		{
			FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(myFile);

			byte[] buffer = new byte[1024 * 8];

			int len = 0;

			while ((len = in.read(buffer)) > 0)
			{

				ch.write(ChannelBuffers.copiedBuffer(buffer));

			}

		}

	}

I've also tried the following buffers: dynamicBuffer, wrappedBuffer,
copiedBuffer. This doesnt happen on the client side when receiving a file.

Any insight ?

Thanks.
