Hello! My laptop only has 4 GB of RAM. My dPup64 10.0.40 works in mode 13. Please tell me how to use torrents and download large files. Due to RAM limitations, I cannot download a file larger than 2.8 Gb at a time

Mount a disk and save the torrent to there.
Either use a hard drive or a USB / flash drive of some kind, all will work.

As p310don said, 4gb swap and external storage device will work.

If you are using Transmission as the client, you need to edit the preferences, on the "downloading" tab, set the "save to location" folder. You should choose some folder outside the root folder, preferably some folder inside /mnt/home/ ( /initrd/mnt/dev_save/ ) or other external storage device.
I download my torrent files to /initrd/mnt/dev_save/torrents/
