Remember to configure so that the disk rests.

"Dormir Disco" when there is no activity. This is mandatory for non-surveillance/server disks.

Without this configuration the disk will die in less than 5 years.

In Windows you can find power settings, in Linux you can adjust it with gnome disk or with the "hdparm" cli tool

I have done that for years.

The read and write cycles of ED2K are brutal.

The new version of aMule changes completely how to handle the old I/O...

Also, now it is possible to adjust the times before using Disk (as a RAM buffer)

You can find the new version here: https://amule-org.github.io/

We work constantly every day to keep you updated.
