How to close connection immediately after finishing download with aria2c?

Question

Occasionally, I will leave an aria2c connection seeding after it has finished downloading, and then hop on a network which doesn't like me seeding.

I'd like to immediately close the connection after I finishing downloading, preventing me from ever seeding. How can I do this?

Answer 1

Note, that the general opinion of the torrent community is that you should seed for at least the amount of the size of the file you downloaded. You can do this by providing the seed-ratio=1.0 option.

However, this can be done by providing the seed-time=0 option. It will immediately stop it from seeding after the download is complete.

Note that , it'll still seed the downloaded data during the download so some seeding may still occur.
