Safe to download large torrents to internal SSD?

[ProQuiz]

Or would it cause too much wear on the internal SSD? Note, I am referring to downloading 20 GB torrents only once in a while (maybe a few times a month).

With modern SSDs, the lifespan is long enough to not worry about downloading large files regardless of the source. Depending on the capacity of the SSD in your system, you could have a rating of anywhere between 150 and 600+ TBW (terabytes written). Even at the low end of 150 TBW, that would equate to 7500 20GB files being written to the SSD.

No, it would not.
