Deluge
Hey guys, first post here but I'm a long-time deluge user.
I've got an old Eee pc laptop with a 4GB SSD lying around that I'd like to put to work as a torrent box with a USB HDD.
The deluge program is stored on the laptop but all of the torrent files and the downloading torrents will be on the USB drive. My question is: how much will the SSD be written to in this scenario? I ask because the Eee pc SSDs aren't brilliant and I'd like to keep it in as good a shape as possible. I know all about SSD MTBFs and I'm not one these people who NEVER writes to them, but I don't see any harm in being cautious. If the disk is going to get thrashed I might rethink my plans.
If it matters at all its an EXT2 filesystem on the SSD running Ubuntu 9.04 and it's mounted using the noatime option. The USB HDD I'm not too worried about.
Thanks guys,
Jack
