Good, good :)

I tend to keep mine going until I have a share ratio of about 1.5 - as long
as I am not the last seed in the swarm, or it's something with a small
swarm
size - when I leave mine seeding, but throttle the bandwidth back a bit.

Seems to be, yeah - azureus does a very good job of prioritising seeding,
so
that swarms where you are actually needed to seed get more attention - it's
a very nice bit of software, and much more capable than the other BT
clients
I have seen.

I.
