Only seeding to Smithstorrents

In utorrent if you click on the torrent you're seeding and go to trackers there are [DHT] [Local Peer Discovery] [Peer Exchange] If these are enabled then it will seed to people not registered with the site (somehow) so i always disable them now.

As far as I know, it should be able to enable this in the tracker properties somewhere, though I've never used TorrentPier, so I don't know for sure.

SweetFA ^® Gender: Longevity: 13 years Posts: 1138 Location: KissMyShades	13-Nov-2009 17:58 (after 6 hours) Peer Exchange doesn't sound very private though, doesn't that allow seeding to people not registered?

But if you disable this feature it hardly has effect on something except scheme of seeds and peers in your utorrent client and you can disable Peer Exchange if you want it. (I'm sorry for my bad English :oops: I hope you understand what I want to explain)
