By default will seed until your ratio reaches 1:1, unless you cancel seeding and exit with Ctrl+C. net-p2p/rtorrent for a minimalist curses UI, allowing multiple torrent downloads & seeding within the one program. Good for long-term seeding. net-p2p/deluge if you prefer a graphical (X11) UI. All three support magnet URIs. Regards Andrew
