But, by their very nature, you undertake to down/up load all changed files no matter who changes them. Sounds like you are making progress, though, but I don't envy you. Now you have another (daughter) potential data snatcher! Good luck. |

You don't just "share a folder" and leave it open for anyone to download with bittorrent as with other types of file sharing programs. You must generate the torrent link and then give it to people, only people who know of your torrent can actually download anything off you. |

| 1288798 | 2012-07-18 03:55:00 | That would explain the download but what about the upload? The reverse synchronization of local files |

| 1288800 | 2012-07-18 04:10:00 | Could you please explain? The upload of their changed\new files to the server. |

You must generate the torrent link and then give it to people, only people who know of your torrent can actually download anything off you. There are plenty of torrent clients out there that enable simple creation of torrents by choosing a file or folder to share, though ;) |
