What does it mean if it connects to all networks then? I get the impression that this is A Bad Thing, but why? Does it bypass the supersecretness of hamandcheese and allow the common pleb to share our torrents?

I think so, if you seed over the public network, anyone can download your stuff, assuming they found the torrent with some sort of searcher or scanner.
In addition it's possible people can use you as a bridging peer to access seeds within TorrentOf5punk, although whether they could find those is unknown.
Wouldn't they need to know the filename, etc. in order to download from you? Also could you solve the problem by turning off the tracker-less option on your 5punk torrent client? (I'm no expert, just thoughts)

I *think* that they would need to know the filename etc, like you say. The reason we were trying to stop it initially is because it seemed to be causing connection issues, due to the fact that the client was connecting to the seed twice, once over ham and cheese, and once over the normal interwebs.
It now seems that that wasnt causing the problem. for some reason, utorrent doesnt seem to want to seed my torrents over ham and cheese. Azureus seems to be working though, so if anyone else has similar problems, just ry a different client.
Making torrents "private" allows access only via the tracker specified when creating them. I've had similar issues with uTorrent only working for a minute or two, so am trying Azureus now.
Shame as I wanted to limit it to the private network, and being made of java, Azureus inexplicably crashes overnight sometimes.

I thought you were working on a listing database rather than a discussion place and just putting in my 2 cents. No rush

I don't think he has enough space left for lists as long as some of ours......
The forum will stay there anyway, at least until all the bugs are worked out of prof's thing. (and probably after, so we have somewhere to discuss the torrenty stuff)
