I'm new here, and I surely put this one in the wrong cathegory, but whatever. I want to know if there is an easy way to multi-seed, cause I have 43 vids from your page on my computer, which currently do no good (but my watching pleasure). I don't understand the thing with the .py files and so on. I tried yesterday, but couldn't figure it out, and I consider myself rather familiar with dos... There must be an easier way, and manually doing it is out of the question, I tried, but the files wouldn't load after a while. I don't have the fastest connection, it's a slow 0,5 Mbit, but I always keep the comp on, and I don't use my upl bandwidth (500 down, 400 up) anyway. If you have any tips on how to multi-seed without crappy dos commands, please let me know!

I'd suggest using a different client which can handle multiple torrents in one window. It'll probably be more efficient and certainly cleaner looking from a better GUI. ABC does it, as does Azureus, and probably a few more. Google is your friend!

Yeah. I would suggest Azureus if you can get it to work. It's the most configurable and aesthetically pleasing. ABC is a good second choice.
I like my "thank you"s in monetary form.

Yeah, I thought that google would be my friend in this cause too, but I couldn't find anything useful :( I'll try ABC, thanks! Edit: ABC works perfectly! I'll uninstall normal Bittorrent now. Have all my seeds running, I'll keep it like that! Normally I only reboot maybe once per 2 weeks.

When multi-seeding, does it put any kind of strain on the server? I'm still learning about how Torrents work.......

The server handles all the peers (clients) connecting to it.... All multi-seeding does is make it acknowledge ONE more client PER TORRENT you are running.... so, in simplest terms, not more than normal. The biggest strain for these videos is keeping consistent seeders, for which (@ the wiki), the Helping page was created
