andyr2005 Posted June 19, 2006 Report Posted June 19, 2006 Hi,I have been using Bit Torrent for a long time, and forgive me if this sounds stupid, but when you create a torrent in uTorrent v1.50, what does the Private torrent check box do?Does it make the torrent private to the tracker, or stop DHT or something?
Nefarious Posted June 19, 2006 Report Posted June 19, 2006 It stops DHT and Peer exchange from being used for that torrent.This is sometimes needed on some trackers.
andyr2005 Posted June 19, 2006 Author Report Posted June 19, 2006 So if I upload to a private tracker, with the above checked, will this prevent all the peers of the private tracker to sharing peer information?
Ultima Posted June 19, 2006 Report Posted June 19, 2006 Assuming their clients properly respect the flag, then yeah, peers don't exchange peer lists with each other when private is enabled, and the torrent doesn't get announced on DHT.
