I’m running my NSLU2 as a file server, torrent client and kaid server. With 6 torrents running, it runs out of memory, and starts killing processes willy-nilly. Took me a while to figure out this was why my script to auto-start a new torrent was being “Terminated.” Not sure how it works out which processes to kill, or if there’s a way to reduce memory use. Then I came across a HOWTO: Add Additional Swap Space. Should fix stuff a bit. Just a note: it takes ages for the file to be created, apparently.

Edit: using ps x o %mem 0 command, I can see that each enhanced-ctorrent process grabs about 5 meg, while the 10 or so kaid processes each use up 2.1Mb. Since I haven’t started using kaid yet, maybe I should stop it auto-starting…
