Hi I have a number of torrents from a private tracker that I am registered with. There are 11 torrents in total 8 of them have a little padlock icon next to them. What does this indicate ?
Am mainly asking as these do not seem to upload whereas the others from the same site but without the padlock have uploaded.

Are the padlocks showing that there is a setting on these torrents from the site itself or is there a setting in tixati that I need to change in order to make these available ?

Any info on this would be greatly appreciated
:-)

The padlock indicates the torrent is private. No padlock would seem to indicate that DHT is enabled.

It means it's a private torrent, Tixati will only connect to peers from the tracker - DHT and PEX are disabled for this torrent.

Padlock mean Private torrents so it won't use DHT or Peer Exchange

The padlock is explained on the documentation pages.

See the "Name" field info at https://support.tixati.com/transfers%20view

The padlock indicates the silly person who created the torrent set the "private" flag, which then prevents the use of DHT and PEX to find active seeds.

If the torrent creator has forgotten to disable DHT, PEX and peer discovery, then Tixati won't recognise it as private and therefore won't have a padlock.

hi a big thanks to everyone who replied to my enquiry.
tixati is a great piece of software and clearly the forum is great as well, thanks again.
