Torrenting for beginners

I have only discovered this in the last couple of weeks and can only currently do this whilst at work which isn't ideal I now realise - having several half finished concerts downloaded!

I have a question regarding torrenting and leaving seeds to seed indefinitely - in short how is this done? I ahve checked the settings on the torrent but it doesn't explain how to do this. Also I'm very non-PC literate which doesn't help.

Just want to be a helpful torrenter when at work.

Once you have downloaded the full set of files (you reach 100%), you are then in seeding mode. you will continue to seed until you turn off your torrent program.

Does this help?

Ok, so just have all completed seeds in the torrent window and don't close any of them down?
Thanks

that's right.

What torrent program are you using.

Azureus is a good client, that allows you to have multiple torrents in the same "window". The original bittorrent application always opened each torrent in its own window.

I just hope theres some torrent sites left soon...

I can have 3 torrents open at any one time, so that's what I'm currently doing :)
