It would be good if those additional files where grabed from net. This way there is no need of downloading your package .tar and I could just copy&paste PKGBUILD code.

Just finished testing and playing around with it, that is a cool application, lots of features that bittorrent itself really should have but doesn't. It should be in staging when the next rsync happens.

Patches, startup scripts, and other auxiliary files to building are almost always included with the PKGBUILD. This seems to be the convention in a lot of builds I've checked out in ABS and it makes sense... i've followed it myself.

So no, I don't see a problem with the way he's done it.

Also, thank you Lefungus! I've been using Azureus for the time being (it's a very fine client and it almost makes me think Java isn't worthless ) but I've been meaning to seed a few torrents, and Shadow's "super-seeder" mode might come in very handy. I'll definitely be looking at this package.

included with the PKGBUILD.

You mean *.tar.gz file, not PKGBUILD. I've got to dowload whole *.tar.gz build just to get those little files. I don't see any advantages of having to do so. This ain't big problem, but I'm lazy guy and this place where are all *.tar.gz are (/incoming serwer) always sais: to many connections from you ip or sth like that - I have to use ssh and external serwer just to get those two little files so I still say that having this two files url'ed in PKGBUILD just to use it more automaticly is nice. (sorry for my english)

I do not see this package in archlinux.org/incoming, is there a reason for that?

It's already been moved to staging, it appears.
