ASZ Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 I have never made a torrent before, so I was just wondering whether there are trackers out there that I could use to make a private torrent that only people I send the torrent file to can download. Is it possible to use trackers without uploading the torrent to their website as well?Another question I have is, what if the original maker of the private torrent isn't seeding, but there is a 2nd person seeding with a completed file, would the third person be able to download from the 2nd person? What if I were using uTorrent's built-in tracker with an IP Address? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 udp://tracker.openbittorrent.com/announceudp://tracker.publicbt.com/announceudp://denis.stalker.h3q.com:6969/announceYou can add them to the .torrent you're creating.And yes, you are'nt forced to publish the .torrent to a torrent indexer, just send it by email to your trusted people.No, all peers with the complete torrent are potential seeds, whatever they created the .torrent or not.Built-in tracker is not very reliable, using a public tracker announce with the private flag should be enough.

moogly Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 With known public trackers, yes. But you don't need to add a huge tracker list, 3 or 4 announces are enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
