hi,
A now-being seeder... got the torrents from the torrents directory! ;)

eg for windows torrents:

http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/4.0.4/win/x86/LibreOffice_4.0.4_Win_x86.msi.torrent

http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/4.0.4/win/x86/

you don't see the torrents, but they are in that directory, they just 
don't appear in the html page.

If you want to do some seeding, here is a little 
"_n__ot-server-stressing_" ready-to-use script I made myself.
Of course I assume you're on linux and you have qt-transmission 
installed (otherwise change the script as needed); create your own .sh 
file, make it executable... and you're done.

Tips:

 * When you see the "add torrent url" request, you have to add the link
   as above (without the name of the torrent file, and keeping the
   final slash). Also change as needed the "save directory" (you can
   comment that if you don't need it).
 * In your torrent client, remove the option that shows you a warning
   window for each torrent you add.


And ehm... I'm quite sure the script can be improved, but you better not 
change the --limit-rate and --wait options; those make the script "not 
server stressing".

slash): "
read url_libo_win

cd ~
wget -r --no-parent -A.mirrorlist,torrent --limit-rate=40k --wait=20 
--reject exe,asc,html,magnet $url_libo_win
sleep 1
#
# from internet url to local directory
#
url_libo_win2=$(echo $url_libo_win | sed "s/http:\/\///")
#
# deleting unwanted files + launching torrents with qt-transmission + 
moving to a "save" directory
#
cd ~/$url_libo_win2
sleep 1
rm *.mirrorlist *.asc.torrent
sleep 1
transmission-qt *.torrent
sleep 60
mv *.torrent /your/save/directory/
echo
exit
