Sorry guys but I'm living out of a 500GB hard drive. Anything that I'm not using regularly gets purged.

There are clients with a "stop seeding" button that works prior to finishing the download. Just sayin'. Still seeds while it's active, but stops right after.

Fortunately the significantly improved download speed from the 6 heroic always-online seeders mitigated your concerns somewhat. But where were they before?
