It could be plenty of things, although your other drive isn't failing so it kind of rules this out. Either way, I'd just check the following to see:
*Heat (if it has SMART, you can use tools like Speedfan to monitor the temperature to see if it's on the high side)
*Vibration (do you have something vibrating excessively in the case?)
*Are you moving your case around a lot while your system is on? Usually it takes a lot of force to actually kill a drive but who knows.
Normal torrenting isn't any more wear on the drive than just every day use. I highly doubt that is the issue here. Can you use any of the WD tools to scan the drive to check for any other problems as well?
