I have several locked torrents (lock on transfer window).  How do I make them public?

you can't change it. but once you download it, you can make a new torrent that is not locked and share that.

I guess I REALLY *should* be asking: what are the causes for locking a torrent?

you can't unlock torrents that has been made private.

However, you can do the world a favor after you finish downloading it. Create a new unlocked torrent for the same content, add some open trackers, then publish and seed it.

I just discovered one way Tixati will mark a torrent as being locked:
 - a corrupt torrent.

I'm a newbie to Tixati, coming from a well-known P2P client, with over 800 torrents to shoe horn into Tixati.  If it discovers a corrupt torrent, it marks as being "locked".  I rather think that "undocumented feature" is rather neat.  I didn't even know those torrents were corrupt.  I'm now in the process of getting more better replacements for these torrents.  THANKS TIXATI!

I think I never had this.
Can somebody please explain, what is a locked torrent.
How does it show ?
Why is it locked ?
How to unlock  ?
