What client you installed and from what debian branch?
If you can try look to installed package version.

same thing - after login it starts to download/load some files and then freezes on one of them, sometimes it's .txt, sometimes it's .zip

Possible corrupted update files and slow connection. Client must download all files without errors before starting game.
Try delete zip files here: ~/.tmw/updates/updates.themanaworld.org and download again without errors.

Also you can try install mana client from wheezy or sid repo.
Or use alternate client manaplus from here http://manaplus.evolonline.org/repository

so now my client works, but crashes after a few minutes
disabling opengl doesn't make any difference
i've tried manaplus. despite being a better client it has the same issues

If it happens regardless of client, then it's not our bug; it's probably in some system library, such as SDL or one of the sound libraries.

Or, if you have no RAM and no swap, you might get OOMed
