Just saw that there are now 1000 seeds in the swarm.
Very impressive. I'm using ktorrent, so I'm still downloading, but my
share ratio is above 1.0, so at least I'm not slowing down the swarm.
Maybe my download will finish by Monday.

My experience is KTorrent is broken. I would sugest you use a different one. I prefer Azureus.
I could not get it to work with ktorrent but it works with the BitTorrent client.

It works when I do a download with the BitTorren (uses KTorrent) in the 10.0 boxed version, but it is so slow. I found wget to be 10x faster. I stopped BitTorrent then and used wget. I thought there is a way to put the finished iso's on a torrent seed that was downloaded with wget.
Today 08:39 CET the link to opensuse's download site (http://ftp-1.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/iso/) does not respond eagerly. That is why I want to seed but can't find a way to do it using my complete downloaded iso's.
I tried this method. I copied all the completed ISO's to the cache of KTorrent /home/<user>/.kde/share/apps/ktorrent/tor0/cache for the one and ...tor1/cache etc. for the others (created when the torrent downloads from the download site was entered). I restarted KTorrent and went to the "Downloads" in the top window, and highlighted one download in the "File" column. Then I switched from the "Status" to the "Files" in the bottom section with a click on the "Files" tag. I un-marked the check-boxes of all the iso's, which changed its "Download" column to "No". Now it says in the "Downloads" windows above the Status as Seeding (Time Left = Finished, % Complete = 100%). The "Speed up:" in the status bar shows activity and the "down:" no activity. I take it that it is seeding now!? Hope so ...Share ratio is on 11,61 and increasing.
Happy leaching Y'all.
