That's the proper behavior of aria2.  Quote from the manpage:

       --seed-time=MINUTES

           Specify seeding time in minutes. Also see the --seed-ratio option.

           Note

           Specifying --seed-time=0 disables seeding after download completed.

How long do I need to wait for this install to tell if it worked then? I am fine with it showing me the comments, it tells me it is doing something. I was just worried that it might be an infinite loop which just reported at 1 minute time frames.

oh, you don't have to wait at all! You can stop it immediately after
it has finished downloading (it stated that right before it started
seeding). Just press "CTRL-C" stops the program and that's it, you are
done :)

OK, ctrl-c'ed it. And got the following:

Now what? I thought the package would be ran an installed. I am guessing that I need to do that. This thing is not clear as to what needs to be done.

Have you read the installation guide? E.g.
http://www.sagemath.org/doc/installation/binary.html#linux-and-os-x

In your case, most likely
tar --lzma -xvf sage-5.2-linux-64bit-ubuntu_12.04_lts-x86_64-Linux.tar.lzma

Then go into that directory and run the "sage" command. There is not
really any "installation" beyond that.

That all worked, thanks.
