10 JUL 2026 - Back up to full speed! Let's be honest: for the last few months, TorrentFunk was painfully slow. Pages crawled, searches dragged, and just loading the site tested everyone's patience. We hunted the problem down to our network and rebuilt it from the ground up — smarter caching, a much bigger and faster connection, and a lot of fine-tuning under the hood. The difference is night and day: the site now loads in a fraction of a second. No more waiting around. Thanks for sticking with us through the slow spell. Now go discover your funk!
CleanMem 2.0.2 Publisher's description
The people who will notice the biggest performance increase are ones who don't have a lot of memory installed. (More memory is always better!)
The reason is when your system starts getting low on memory Windows will start to move memory to the page file. The page file is ran off your hard drive. The hard drive is the bottle neck of performance on a system. So the slower the drive the slower the system goes as it tries to work with the page file. When you use CleanMem you help keep the system from using up all its memory. In turn Windows doesn't push anything to the page file, and we avoid the huge slow down from page file usage.
What if you have tons of memory? Should you still use CleanMem?
I have 8gb's of memory and I use Windows 7 64bit. I never hit the max memory usage. But I still use CleanMem to keep the programs memory usage in check. Why?
Think of it this way. Say you have a ton of hard drive space. Would you want your drive full of unneeded files? To the point where your drive is nearly full? Sure I have the space, but why would I want all that crap?
The same goes for my memory. I want to make sure the memory is being used in the best way it can. I don't want memory leaks and such using up all the memory. Lots of people feel the memory is a resource and should be used as much as possible. I agree, I just don't want the left over trash is all :-)
So how does CleanMem work?
CleanMem Works buy calling a Windows API. CleanMem doesn't change the working set of a processes. It simply asks Windows to do all the work. So Windows does the trimming, the moving and manages everything. This is why there is never any crashes of programs and any performance hit to the system. To put it short CleanMem doesn't work against the Windows memory manager, it works with it :-)
Change Log
v2.0.2
Added "Reset Window Positions" option to context menu.
Multiple GUI tweaks and fixes.
Fixed minor bug where the mini monitor wouldn't hold its startup position in some cases.
Program now remembers the screen position of the settings windows and others. The reset mini monitor position will also reset these windows as well.
Window positions are now saved under the Current User Reg keys. This has multiple benefits. If a person runs the mini monitor from a thumb drive and on multiple computers, the position will be saved on each computer instead of the ini file. This also lets different users on the same system have the monitor in different positions than the other users.
Fixed bug where the Page File information on the Memory Info Window didn't detect on Windows 7.
Page file info on the memory info window has been updated to pull better information. Such as actual current usage of the page file on the disk.
Fixed bug where the mini monitor didn't always exit & close.
v1.7.0
Major update. Make sure to uninstall any old versions of CleanMem first.
CleanMem is now 3.5x faster. CleanMem use to take 3.5 sec to do its job and close. It now takes 1 sec.
Update to the mini monitor to show actual percentage of memory use. This shows up in the tooltip text of the system tray icon. Since the tray icon can only fit 2 chars the percentage is rounded. But in the tooltip it will show the current. Example: 35.635%
The system tray icon only changes when the percentage changes. When a user would update the colors of the try icon the change wouldn't happen till then. Now when a user changes anything for the system tray icon it will update immediately.
The system tray icon didn't render properly if your system was set to less than True Color (32 bit) This has now been fixed.
Added global hotkey support to the mini monitor. The user can now set what keys to hit to run CleanMem.
Added a GUI for the settings of CleanMem. CleanMem now stores all settings in one ini file instead of multiple text files.
Minor tweaks and fine tuning to the mini monitor.
CleanMem setup now auto detects if a system is 32 or 64 bit and selects the correct install option during setup.
CleanMem setup support silent installs.
