medeivalstargazer Posted June 21, 2006 Report Posted June 21, 2006 Hmm, as the topic says, I am curious as to what exactly happens when you enter something into the text box next to 'IP/Hostname to report to tracker'. Does it make it so that your IP does not show up in torrent trackers? Does your IP being hidden have any side-effects? Can you still seed? If anyone can help, I would also like to know what happens when you put an IP and Port into the box next to 'Proxy Server'. I figured I'd ask these things and get them out of my way while I was still new. Any and all help is appreciated -Gazer

medeivalstargazer Posted June 21, 2006 Author Report Posted June 21, 2006 Ok, well, what do those things do then? And my speeds are already around 30kbs. Of course, I haven't forwarded my Port yet, hehe.
DreadWingKnight Posted June 21, 2006 Report Posted June 21, 2006 The "IP to report to tracker" function is basically ONLY for users who are torrenting from behind the same NAT that they run a tracker from.Proxy server info is ONLY for people who actually need it. If you're torrenting semi-fine, don't touch it.
