Enable full bidirectional encryption in your torrent client and only use reputable private tracker communities, and you won't have these kind of issues
Exactly. So it's great that you are telling us that we should only be using private trackers that you got into a decade ago, and nobody else can get access to. Gatekeeping torrents...smh
anyone can start a private torrent community for what it's worth, you don't have to get in, you just need it to be private. why doesn't this community start one? it's good digital hygiene
Some private trackers that I use say that the torrent client should not fully enable encryption due to the tracker not being able to track up/download stats iirc.
