Encryption forced, legacy disabled.

Scenario:

2 users. Both with current copies of uTorrent.

User A creates a torrent, no tracker (DHT) or using the embedded tracker.

User A sends the torrent file to user B.

User B is a new user, never before had uTorrent installed. Installs a fresh copy of uTorrent, and attempts to download from User A.

If User A has set uTorrent to Encryption Forced and incoming legacy connections is unchecked, can User B connect without problems to user A, assuming no other difficulties?

It's covered in uT help file.

Protocol Encryption

• The Outgoing dropdown menu allows you to select the mode of encryption that you prefer µTorrent to establish. All modes will accept incoming encrypted connections, and the encryption is 2-way.

--Disabled will force µTorrent to attempt to establish only unencrypted outgoing connections.

--Enabled will allow µTorrent to establish encrypted and unencrypted outgoing connections, depending on how the peer responds to the handshake. This is the recommended option, as it provides µTorrent with the largest pool of peers to pick from for connecting to.

--Forced forces µTorrent to establish only encrypted outgoing connections. Any peer that doesn't support encryption will not be connected to. It is recommended that you not use this option unless your ISP actively searches for unencrypted outgoing connections, as it can impair your ability to connect to peers.

• Allow incoming legacy connections allows µTorrent to accept unencrypted incoming connections. If disabled, any incoming connection that is unencrypted will be ignored. It is recommended that you not disable this option unless your ISP actively searches for unencrypted incoming connections, as it can significantly impair your ability to connect to peers.
