"tracker"less - need advice

ok, I need to make a few torrents, which I want to share with some of my friends, bypassing the need of tracker somewhere.

what is the best choice with µTorrent?

1.creating the torrent leaving tracker field blank will do the trick probably.

but do I need to enable dht/peer exchange? and what if other people don't use µTorrent/Mainline?

2.using µTorrent built-in tracker.

this will free me of DHT and other related stuff.

but someone here said that this tracker is unsecure, what does this means?

go with the built-in tracker, easiest way...

unsecure? maybe if you gonna run a torrent site, dont think it will be any problem just with your friends

afaik it is "unsecure" in the way, that the build in tracker has no control whatsoever: e.g. everbody can use it to their torrents.

when you choose 1) for the torrent and you either do not allow DHT/PEX for the torrent or the other guys do not use such DHT/PEX able client you need to tell them your IP:port where they can connect you in a manual way. fon/fax/mail whatsoever ;-)
