No.With ordinary user i can write to the disk but with torrent clients i can't write .. it all there is an error.
Edit:I can write to fat32 only with azureus after enabled of the special option which allow write to fat32 system.When i set temp folder and save folder on ktorrent to the disk with fat system and when i open the torrent there is an error .. ( An error occured whilist loading the torrent file ).After restart of the program the torrent which i started before are download automatic.Is it strange behaviour?!

I don't see what the difference would be between a normal program and a bittorrent program. All they both do is open a file, write some data to it and close the file.

I'm not sure how Azureus does it's saving, but KTorrent uses a combination of files and symlinks for temporary storage etc. And if I'm not entirely mistaken(don't have any fat32 to test on) fat32 does not support symlinks. If that's the case it's not surprising if KTorrent fails.

You can make symlinks to files on a fat32 partition. Only the temp dir has to be on a filesystem which supports symlinks.

You should place your temp directory on non-fat partition. This directory only contains symlinks (not actual files) so the size won't grow much. Your final download dir can be on FAT partition.

Try this and see how it goes. I don't have fat right now to test.

This folder contain and partially download chunks.
In some cases it size can become pretty big.
