Does using a torrent client installed on an SSD (but downloading data to the HDD) affect its lifespan?

Good day everyone. Let me talk a little) I took care of the health of the SSD) Please clarify this issue. A torrent client is installed on the SSD, all downloaded data goes to two HDDs installed in the system. (It seems to me that only he is a torrent client, he could have such an impact on the waste of his resource when he downloaded the necessary data, again, I repeat, on the HDD, only the client was on the SSD. Correct me if I'm wrong) Torrents downloaded relatively little. There are no games on the SSD, only the system, Kaspersky, and labor programs by type of activity, such as FL Studio. Why my question. I assembled the system in June last year, and since September, checking this drive through a crystal disk, I found that for 2 months the percentage of consumption was 10% percent (90% percent of health). Right now my health is 80%. Is the SSD consumption rate normal? Seems a little too fast to me. Could the installed torrent client affect his health in this way? Maybe put FL studio and Kaspersky on HDD to reduce load on SSD? Thanks for answers.

No, you shouldn't. If you do not need caching torrents. Tipo first downloads to ssd then copies to hdd
Everything works for me, I don’t see any problems. I don’t check the truth and the “health” of the disk, I don’t give a damn about it) ssd should live for 5 years, then it’s already in question

Of course it does. After all, the torrent client constantly writes fragments to disk when downloading.
Here if only to distribute - that should not.
And if swap is still being written all the time, then it’s completely criminal. If the system goes into swap, then you need to add RAM or reduce appetites - the number of applications in memory. In general, increasing RAM always improves system performance.
