tehhparadox Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Hi all I have a laptop with an SSD so obviously torrenting directly to the internal storage is not a good idea. I have an external hard drive which i can use to torrent to, but does utorrent client temporarily store data to the internal drive before copying over to the download location?

Kitsoran Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 What size SSD? With a large enough SSD you'll either experience a non flash wear related failure or be dead before you wear out the SSD with heavy use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevorS Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 No.Is this definitely certain? I regularly observe slow trickles of bytes during DL, easily less than a full disc block. Unless uTorrent is forever writing out fragments, then rereading them, merging the latest arrival, and writing them again, I would expect it to be accumulating enough bytes in a local cache to allow writing a complete block each time. The thrashing associated with reprocessing the same disc blocks while "writing" would be very inefficient. Edit: Oops, just realized, the local cache would be memory -- sorry about that !
