Dear all
I have a relatively powerful (i7 3930K, 16GB RAM) desktop currently running simulations for the Folding@Home project 24/7.
Since I am sitting on a pretty good landline (100mbit/s upstream), I would very much like to use it to seed torrents for FOSS projects (especially Fedora) as well, in order to contribute to the community. I am relatively new to torrents in general, however, so I was just wondering if someone could give me some pointers on how to do it?
Best,
Christopher Svanefalk
To clarify a bit, is there a BETTER way to seed, than to simply let a client program (such as Transmission, which I currently use) do the seeding for me? I would like to feed as much data as possible.
Best,
Christopher Svanefalk

That is probably the most you can do with the least amount of work. Find some F/OSS ISOs with not too many seeds, download them and let the torrent program keep running. Once your share ratio goes over 1, you're officially helping. :)

Transmission also has some kind of command line daemon.. meaning it'll run even if X is stopped. I never used that.
