Just an on/off switch - not much fuss needed. No control over who can connect to the tracker (unless a firewall is used, advanced). Anyone can connect to your tracker and share their torrent IF and only IF they know your IP address and port number. And you wouldn't know - as u. Torrent has no interface to show what is going on in the tracker! However, the occurrence of this is very rare as the person would need to know your IP address and port.

NOTE: Your IP address must also NOT change until you finish sending the files to your friend.

However, activity between peers will continue, just that new peers will not be able to join the torrent. If no one other peer has the complete file when you change IP or disconnect, the torrent will stall. We will need this tracker URL later, so note it down somewhere for now.

You're almost set! To make the torrent, click 'Create and save as..'. Put it in a location you can remember. You will need this file later. Click Close. You should see the torrent in your list with a green up arrow (like this: ) with the status Seeding. If it is wrong, delete and recreate the torrent again following the steps outlined above. If the arrow is red and you are using an external tracker. Double- click the torrent and check the list of Trackers to ensure it matches the value provided by the tracker operator.
