would it be the right thing to do to leave it running unitl

It's a moot point. At the end of the weekend, Linspire's torrent
link will be down and new people won't be able to begin the
torrent. So just keep it running for people that started but
couldn't finish the torrent in time.

They may leave the torrent link up for a while, but only people that
have already "purchased" the digital version will be able to get it. It
will probably depend on how big the backlog is. The way they have it set
up, you can "buy" it for free now, and download it later.
