Any torrent clients use ALL the RAM
So, originally I thought I had a kernel memory leak, because with no programs consuming more than 0.1% of memory on 'top' but a reinstall did not fix it.
Then I tried to narrow down the culprit even further. I started only the necessary programs, by hand, while watching the memory performance in Xen. It seemed to peak when I started up rtorrent. I couldn't find much about known memory leaks in rtorrent, but I did find that there is/was a known one for XMLRPC-C which is used as a dependency for the rutorrent interface. When I downloaded XMLRPC-C I used the SVN version, but even after formatting again and using the beta version to see if it would resolve my issues, no avail.
Transmission comes stock with the Debian 6 distro, so I figured, why not, I'll give it a shot. I downloaded one torrent, memory usage shot through the roof, and transmission froze. The only difference between this and rtorrent, was that when I killed transmission, memory usage actually went back down instead of hovering at 11GB.
*sigh* So I moved on to deluge. It seems fine until I add a torrent, then it skyrockets (This is from when I launched deluge, until about 30 minutes after I killed deluge):

I'm not quite sure of what to do at this point. Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
