  I have found that when it is downloading, it writes the data to HDD every second !

For I have a low download speed, It usually takes several hours to download a file.
So that’s the problem, in only an hour my HDD have to be written 3600 times ! My HDD noise
become louder and louder !
I sincerely hope that your can use cache to avoid this phenomenon !

This task depends upon

FRD caches about 500kB. If your speed > then this value then data are written continuously.
Why not to cache more data? Because it would slow down other applications for a long time once the writing would started.

So why don't you make it an option in the preferences? It takes, what, a quarter of a second to write 10 MB? I personally don't care if my other applications get slowed down, I'm usually asleep when using FRD. Remember, if you're not sure that anyone'll need it, odds are that they will. Just add an 'Advanced' tab in the preferences for those of us who like to play with settings.

For advanced users there is option in internal properties - -DoutputFileBufferSize=sizeInBytes
eg. for 10MB:
-DoutputFileBufferSize=10485760

PS. Such big size is NOT recommended
