I would suggest using it on less expensive sd cards until real world tests determine prolonged effects.
my guess is that torrent clients thrash their disk files, and will absolutely cause early failure of flash memory, so definitely ensure all files - temporary and final - are not in internal memory.

does os2008 have tmpfs in the kernel, so that you can have a ramdisk backed by a big swap file on external flash, which might reduce the amount of I/O to the cards?
