haven't used utorrent yet but what about the beginning of bittorrent when none of the clients had disk cache, do you think everyone that used it lost their hard drives? i certainly didn't. disk cache is very good to the hd but is not mandatory and you can use bt for a long time before your hd dies
Its about protecting ur hardisk. Some people's hardisk can die tomorrow, a month later or never. The point is if someone crosses the road and thinks he can keep crossing without being careful, then he will be knocked down.
And the client is too new and with too many bugs. I prefer to have a bit buggier client that is more pleasant to my hardisks which get loads of traffic going in and out.
And u cant compare last time and now. Internet speeds have increased dramatically and torrent is bigger than ever. The amount of traffic is massive compared to previously.
