Um well aint nothin broke hear yet! That is the result of my prolonged 1 month test. Test still ongoing... will keep u informed!

Its probably less stressfull for flash memory than hard disks if thats any consolation... imagine hard disks saving to 20 different spots on the disk at once... lotta moving parts to wear out... u dont have that with flash. Flash will wear out but the actual files you download probably arent that bad since a 700mb file download (in transmission) acutally means each unit of memory is only written to once as soon as its received. It allocates and writes straight to the file... it doesnt move individual pieces around.

By default theres a small amount of data written (per download) to internal memory to manage the download. I requested a feature to allow (easy) relocation of this 'metadata' to fat based drives like sd/sdhc come by default... i havent heard anything back yet.

If you are super paranoid and want to limit internal flash usage see this (technical) post :

I have probably downloaded 10 or so gigs of data... on my 16 gig sd card thats less than one write per memory block... i think the individual blocks of flash memory are rated at about 100,000 writes or something... i think my isp would complain before my flash memory would

CPU utilization very high! Probably 60-100%! You can probably lower that by imposing peer limits or bandwith limits.

Dont know about memory load... i'll watch out for that next time.
