The problem with a bad capacitor causing random crashes may or may not apply to any application on any PC. We've got mldonkey here running for months on end. It has never crashed itself or caused a system crash. 10 people are using it through its web interface. It handles literally terabytes of ed2k/bittorrent downloads. Good luck!
