If your system already has DNS services like DynDNS.com , use the DNS URL directly instead of the IP address above.

As you can see, we fill in the information in the Trackers section as follows:

http:/// ipaddress: port / announce
http:/// localhost: port / announce

The part of localhost with technical specifications is responsible for notifying uTorrent that all the active computers connected to it are valid trackers, make sure that the Private torrent feature has been thoroughly checked - prevent preventing torrent file sharing using other methods such as PEX and DHT.

For added security, it is possible to add an outgoing connection encryption method. At Options> Preferences> BitTorrent:

Next to the Outgoing item, select Forced and uncheck the box at Allow incoming legacy connections. Some important things to note are the following:

- Always keep uTorrent active
- IP address cannot be changed during seeding
- Port value cannot be changed
- If you apply the connection encryption method, the client program used on the remaining computers must also be set accordingly.

Although uTorrent is not a program capable of creating a comprehensive sharing system that meets the needs of many people, but with a closed model of about 10 seeders, the whole operation is very stable. . It is suitable to share data between users and their friends without the need for a public tracker system as well as privacy on Windows and Mac OS X platforms. While Transmission has this function, if applicable Use uTorrent with WINE, Linux users do not need to worry too much.
