can uTorrent utilize a large amounts of RAM?

ok thanks, although I don't see how a proper utilization of ram would damage the hdd or reduce performance. Maybe if only single file was being downloaded, but usually tens are being downloaded and hundreds seeded.

Also, the system failure excuse seems to me pretty lame: first, downloading torrents is not a medical/military grade critical operation; second, I've experienced much more frequent hdd i/o errors due to hdd overuse than system (or power) failures. Third, one could always adjust the configuration if one wished

My logic behind reduced damage of the hard drive by increased "use" is that with high-traffic operation on the hard drive, the platters are kept spinning at full speed all the time, reducing the wear on the platter's drive motor. The repeated spinning up and down of the disk causes more damage than constant read/write operations.
