rclone will download chunks of the file in memory, then discard them.
can see that for yourself, by reading the debug log...
i want to limit rclone's memory usage
You have to decide what you want really.
If you want to limit memory usage do not use RAMDISK for caching. Put your cache of disk.
idc about RAMDISK, i don't use RAMDISK. I've not set --cache-mode/--cache-dir so rclone might use memory when io stream video, i want to increase or decrease rclone's memory usage
Thanks
