Using this option does seem to decrease the amount I upload until other seeds are available. Seems good when the folks you are uploading to are willing to seed once they are finished. Gets everything going faster.
I haven't been able to find "initial seeding", I guess I will have to look for it the next time I seed a show.

If I understood this right, super seeding should get you a higher upload speed because the initial seeder (in this case me) would seed only to the leecher with the highest upload speed. And he in turn would upload to the rest of the swarm.
