Subject: RubyTorrent memory usage

Hi all,

I've been using the rubytorrent library to build a webbased torrent 
client, but when I start a torrent ruby wll slowly start using more and 
more memory and in about three hours it will use 100% (512mb) of memory. 
The package seems unmaintained (no activity the last year and no reply 
to email) so basically two questions:

1) Does anyone here use rubytorrent. Do they have the same problems or 
is it just me.

2) How would I debug this. I looked into the creation of objects by the 
library (by monitoring objectspace) and it mostly creates Arrays and 
Procs (Arrays go from 40000 at the start to 400000 after half an hour), 
but the number of objects based on the rubytorrent classes stays about 
the same. Is there a way to find out by which object another object is 
created; for example have an object report it has been created by 
RubyTorrent::Peer.

Edwin

P.S. this is on ruby 1.8.4 in linux.
