There isn't anything wrong with it here though. As Phlebas said only your overall ratio is considered.

The limit bunchno mentioned will be in effect till you become a power member. Partial torrents will count as downloads while they're active, even if you've completed the portion you want (the tracker has no way of knowing you're done.) But so long as you keep your total ratio in the clear you can do whatever with individual torrents.

Sashamaru:
Seeding unfinished torrents only becomes an issue is if your account gets warned for having a low ratio or if you've reached your download cap for simultaneous downloads. While warned, you're only able to seed finished torrents, as incomplete torrents are seen as "downloading" by the system. Likewise, as has been mentioned, they'll count toward the number for torrents you're downloading simultaneously.

Otherwise, it's fine to leave an incomplete torrent open to seed what you have. You just want won't connect to as many leechers as you would if you had all the files.

Hope Fails:
All right, that makes sense. Thank you very much!
