Bittorrent command line launch many curses
With the python Bittorrent client you can seed or download multiple torrents at a time and set max parameters for the group of torrents. For example with the command below I have limited uploads to 2,000 KB/sec (~16mbit/sec).
launchmany-curses --torrent_dir /home2/torrentdirectory --save_in /home2/whereiwantthetorrentdownloads --max_upload_rate 2000 --max_uploads 1500
If you have a dedicated server with a monthly bandwidth allowance why not download some legal torrents and help seed with your excess bandwidth. This is a great way to give back to the open source community, and it doesn't cost you anything.
Below you can see me seeding the various linux distros that I have used:
