IP Address Display-How to Stop?

Post by Herkimer »

Kind of new at this so bear with me...

I'm seeing IP addresses displayed in the Torrent Inspector window under Peers. Isn't this a little sensitive considering the climate regarding torrents and the potential for harvesting? Am I displaying my address in other's windows and potentially exposing myself?

Not that I'm downloading anything that could be potentially a problem...

Can this be eliminated (in the next build?) or somehow hidden?

Transmission displays the IP's of clients it connects to, as all other clients do. Not showing it won't protect you any more. You shouldn't be downloading/seeding anything you don't have the legal permission to.
