    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.

      This is how you end up with a 99.7% completed gzip of bob Dylan’s entire catalog and have to restart on a new, uncompressed stream that’s 10x larger

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