To the best of my knowledge, it was done. Ktorrent said it was done,
status said it was seeding and upload size was way above the mirror
listed size. I also "quit" the notification icon. There was no
activity on the cable modem either. Comparing the file size with a wget
version of the file from a different mirror shows identical number of
bytes. I can't now do a diff since I deleted the bittorrent version.
Thanks for the reply...just have to put this in my memory banks and see
what happens nex time.
