Hello,
Am I allowed to run a BitTorrent seed from the Toolserver? If so, what is the maximum upload capacity that I should use? The seed is for the Commons Picture of the Year 2006 & 2007.

Is this like a delayed message? We were running a POTY seed on toolserver months ago.
I found that BT clients consume an ungodly amount of cpu before they consume an ungodly amount of bandwidth. ;) I also found that BT was pretty useless for POTY, in the two months or so that I ran a seed found that only one other client stayed around seeding long enough to help anyone download at all, and they didn't even help much.
As a result I think that download.wikimedia.org is a better home for this.

I have been running a tracker for months now. I was not aware that there was also a seed on the TS.

Use CTorrent. I run that on a crappy 32 MB 200 MHz NAS and it works quite well.

something around 50Mbps should allow reasonable download speeds without affecting anything else. but you might also look at using download.wikimedia.org, if bittorrent isn't the most suitable way to do this.
