unrequested torrent is downloading
Posted: Sun Mar 24, 2019 12:13 pm
I don't know if this is the proper place for this question, but an Internet search has proved fruitless, so here goes:
My FreeBSD-based XigmaNAS (formerly FreeNAS) server runs Transmission 2.94.
Over the last two weeks, a mysterious unrequested torrent has downloaded onto my server on two separate occasions, always starting late at night and completing by early morning before I awake. It's an 11.5GB file entitled "Z2019-03-17_07-08-03.mp4". It's a video (almost 4 hours long) of someone playing a video game!
How can an unrequested torrent be directed to download on my server? The server always runs on a VPN. I randomly changed Transmission's incoming port number after the first download incident (the previous port number was chosen randomly as well), but to no avail.
Are there are any other settings changes I can make to prevent this from happening again?
