feat: seed downloads by default (opt-out) with robust resume and clean quit
Finished downloads now keep seeding automatically and you opt out per item with p, reusing the live torrent instead of tearing it down. Resume and restore seed from the .torrent metadata captured at download time, so they verify the local file immediately rather than depending on re-fetching metadata from the swarm. Quitting now flushes queue, history, and seeds synchronously and exits immediately, fixing the hang when quitting while seeding or with a paused seed. Paused seeds persist their state and stay paused across restarts. Hide the hardware cursor on the splash, and clarify that c removes a finished item the same way in Downloads and Seeding. Tests are isolated from the real data dir via a TORLINK_STATE_DIR override plus vitest config, so runs never touch user data. Adds scripts/verify-seeding.ts (npm run verify:seeding), an offline-deterministic harness proving seed, pause, and resume transfer real bytes.

torlink is a torrent finder that lives in your terminal, with zero setup and nothing to configure. One search checks a short, curated list of reputable sources at once, and whatever you pick downloads straight to your computer, never seeding back out. The files are yours, saved to your downloads folder.

Downloads run in the background while you keep searching, so you can queue up as many as you want. They save to your downloads folder, and the Downloads pane keeps tabs on each one. When something finishes it keeps seeding automatically so the next person can find it too, and the Seeding tab lets you pause or stop that anytime. Pressing `c` on a finished item removes it from your history and stops seeding it, the same whether you do it in Downloads or Seeding.

## Privacy
|
||||
|
||||
Your files stay on your disk, and nothing routes through a central server; torlink only talks to the torrent network directly. Once a download finishes it keeps seeding by default, sharing it back so the next person can find it just as easily. The network only works because people pass things along, and even a few minutes makes a real difference. If you'd rather not, opt out anytime: open the Seeding tab, press `p` to pause or stop any item, and press it again to pick it back up. Always your call.
