What does Transmission share to the ouside world?

Post by SwisherSweet »

Hi,

I'm new to Torrents. I am trying to download a public Torrent using the macOS version and I'm seeing a lot of data going out, but hardly any coming in. I assume that the only think I'm sharing is the same thing I'm trying to download.

Assuming I have a dedicated folder for what I'm downloading, does Transmission only share what I'm downloading, or does it share everything in the my "download" folder, even if it's not a entry in Transmission?

Thank you.

Transmission only share files
which are in downloading process/or 100% downloaded.
It only shares files that exist in the main window
and that you allow to be shared.

I read out the question I also face the same type of problem in that time which I can do which is also answered in this forum so I supported this answer Transmission only share files which are in downloading process or 100% downloaded. It only shares files that exist in the main window
and that you allow to be shared.

Exactly like that.
