I used to use rtorrent until it started to freeze the whole system
so that I was able to ping it, but no userland worked. The box
became unreachable, which wasn't easy to debug. I believe other
people on this list experienced similar problems. In any case, I
switched to btpd and never looked back. It's stable and doesn't
consume more than 4MB of ram after 44 days of uptime while seeding
50+ torrents.
