Will it burn out my harddrive if I leave my computer connected to soulseek all the time for people to download from me? I usually have like 5 people uploading from me at a time. |

I don't think it will wreck your HD, but I don't like leaving my computer on for too long. If I'm not using it, it goes off, I'd just rather it not suck in more dust and get even hotter, it's not even that loud, I just like to save electricty too. |

its actually best to leave your computer on... the more you turn it on and off, the quicker it kills the HD I dont know the exact reason... but I do know that itll make its life much shorter. |

it's the heating up and cooling down of the components when you turn your computer on and off a lot, it wears them out. i don't mind that people are downloading as long as it's not bad for my harddrive to be in pretty much constant use |

I've heard that as well, however, I don't cylce my computer very much, but I do leave it off when I'm done. It also uses more electricity to turn it on and off constantly too, but I try to just use, turn off,, blah, why am I explaining this. |

It used to be that turning your computer on and off would fry the circuits eventually, because they weren't manufactured as well and the sudden surge when you turn on and off your computer hurt the circuits Nowadays, just throw a screensaver on and it'll be fine The hard drive won't die any faster, it's the most likely part to die in the computer anyways, so keep your stuff backed up |

Screensavers are the Spawn of Satan. It's ok to leave your PC on, just turn off the monitor, if don't use it. Screensavers just fuck everything up. -P |

I'm one of the few people that don't use slsk... 1) I don't know what it is, and 2) I don't know how to get it. So my PC is fine turned off after I use it. I think. I hope. I beg. I pray. I wish. |

we're not talking car brakes here that will heat up or break if you just leave them on, theyre designed to stay on......the coputer parts that is, and the backlight isn't the first thing to go, if you leave you lappy lcd on 24/7 you're gonna hit that 10,000 hour life pretty soon and pixels will start dyin, but i have lappies 5 years old that are on regularly and only are missin 6 or 7 pixels |
