I downloaded a torrent file that, when I open in Tixati, it displays an icon that looks like a padlock beside the filename. I know from reading the help files that when specifying the download location in settings, a padlock beside a folder name mens the folder is read-only. The torrent file is not read-only. What does this mean?

Thanks,

joe

Padlock next to transfer name means the torrent is private. Tixati will use only trackers to obtain peer's addresses for that torrent.

for future reference and edification, this and more is explained on the tixati support wiki:
