It’s considered a good practice to leave BitTorrent running even after your download is complete — if everyone closes their downloads there will be no “seeds”, or complete downloaders to download from. Please try and leave the client running atleast until your “share ratio” is 1.0 or more, i.e. when you have uploaded atleast as much data as you have downloaded.
