no, seeding means that you are letting other people download from you. To get the program to show up in the correct folder, try restarting your bitTorrent client.

And please keep seeding it for a while, im sure there are many people who would appreciate it.

The program will not show up in the Programs folder by itself. What you did was download the installer. Now you must run it to actually install it, whichg will then make the client and the supplementary apps show up in the start menu.
You need to use the explorer to navigate to the place you downloaded the installer to and then execute it (doubleclick).

As for the seeding: it is expected that you keep seeding until you have uploaded as much as you downloaded. You do not have to do it in one big chunk, though, so you can leave it seeding while you\'re away or asleep or something.

i\'m no BitTorrent expert (or even a user XD), but i would think that it would \"show up\" wherever you\'ve saved it to. it won\'t show up in START -> Programs -> Planeshift until you have installed it.

what you\'re downloading now IS the installer, wherever it be on your computer. you just need to double click it to start installing planeshift. once it\'s installed, you will be able to get on to play

as for seeding, beats me. have you tried moving your plants to sun? ; D
