disabling stream torrent when not using

I just started using Stream Torrent for watching sports from a closely moderated site. When I click on the game I want to watch the Stream Torrent program is called for and the process is turned on. When the game is over I want to make sure that stream torrent is turned off. I don't like the idea of having p2p services running in the background. Since I have the program I guess I could launch it and maybe there might be a shutdown command in there somewhere. Instead I just used task manager to turn off the stream torrent process and I see that all the p2p services have turned off. Does this seem like a reasonable way to do it? The Stream Torrent site does not address disabling. I think they would like you to leave it running 24/7.

Thanks, Jonny
