You should not need to reboot the asus all the time.
Probably you have another problem that is causing some trouble.
Do you have a swap file created?
Can post the output of 'free'?
If you find that your internet is slowing down, then the most likely reason is that you didn't limit the upload speed.
Limit the upload speed (in transmission) to around 75% (or less) of your maximum upload capacity.
do note that transmission has a very irregular speed...Quote:

The reason y im rebooting is because transmission freezes and stops allowing me connect to it.

Maybe you should stop some processes to see if transmission runs better.
ofcourse you could give rtorrent a try, but transmission should run normally as well (it does for me).
Here is my output of 'free':

Not sure why you have this '-/+ buffers/cache'. Could this be overloading your system???
These are all the processes which are running when I type p[s axf. Which ones dont I really need to run?

Start with disabeling some services via the webinterface.
You just could kill a few services.
e.g. waveserver, mysql, smbd, nmbd, rcamdmain, php
and then watch for a while if things improve. If it does you know that you are short of memory.
I killed what u told me to and this is the result, will let u know how it goes.
Does it look better then when i typed 'free' last time?

it's better, but still not good.
Can you just run 'ps' without the flags. In this way we can
see what program is eating up memory
This is the result when I just run ps, is this right?

apparently you are using a different version of 'ps' then i do.
Is the result the same if you run:
/opt/bin/ps
otherwise try this and the run ps again:
ipkg update
ipkg install busybox
I didnt kill any processes this time

Ok, not too much memory consumption by the running processes.
Probably it's the buffer/cache that is giving the problem. Part of the memory (which is only 32MB) is reserved to cache frequently used data. The result is that it leaves even less memory to run your processes in.
Thus, it's best to switch this cache off. (not sure how)
Can you remember at which point you activated the cache?
Not too sure when and how I did it as well. Would have been when I was following one of the tutorials, I think olegs or wengis to setup everything including my external.
