Well, I checked memory usage in rtorrent and it said it was
higher than 2GB(total physical RAM) then used top to read the swap line:

Swap: 1024M Total, 39M Used, 985M Free, 3% Inuse

But if it isn't really using that much memory how come I get
memory allocation errors in rtorrent if there's more memory
avaliable?

Cheers,
