Since Azureus has the really cool feature of being able to auto-start torrents depending on a set of circumstances, I thought I'd write up a good set of them. The following are for my 26 KB/sec up and down connection - tweak it to fit your's.
After you are done downloading, the torrent will move down into the seeding area. If you wish to move or rename the downloaded file to a different location than it downloaded to, then stop and delete the torrent from Azureus, move/rename the file and then click this icon:
Go get the torrent again from either this site or off your computer. Azureus caches it's torrents to (on XP at least):
and then go find the file. It should then check the file to make sure it's downloaded and the right one and then seed.
Now for the configuration. Open it here: View -> Configuration

Just set as shown.
Queue -> Seeding -> Auto-Starting
Just set as shown.
Queue -> Seeding -> Ignore Rules
This is the most important set of settings. These determine what torrents need seeding. The only thing that you may need/want to change from my screenshot is the "Ignore torrents that have at least 1 seed for every [ ] peers" depending on your connection speed (set it to 4 or 5 for a slower connection, 1 or 2 for a faster one).

- Global max upload speed - set this to 80% of your real max upload speed
- Default max upload slots per torrent - you should set this so that each person is getting about 6-8 KB/sec
- Maximum number of connections per torrent - see next item
- Maximum number of connections globally - setting this too high will result in a lower download speed (Azureus will spend too much bandwidth monitoring everyone else) and setting it too low will also result in a slower download speed as you won't be connecting to a lot of people
- Max simultaneous downloads - set this to whatever you want
- Max active torrents - set this to 1 or 2 more than the above (depending on your upload speed)
Just set as shown.
Queue -> Seeding -> Auto-Starting
- Timed rotation - this will make it just keep rotating through the torrents that need seeding (it will seed each torrent for the "Minimum seeding time in seconds" that was set above)
- Auto Start all completed torrents with 0 peers - Uh, fuck if I remember what this does - I think it just starts torrents that have no peers
