Thread: Two questions about uploading

1) I have noticed on trackers like Waffles and BTN, some people upload as "Anonymous", are they doing this for security reasons? Also, why would there be a need for this on a private tracker?

2) When you upload as "Anonymous", do you still get upload credit?

Thanks

I know on a couple private trackers of mine you can set security levels. I'm not sure if there's such a thing on the trackers you're talking about, but it could be the case. The user sets their security level really high thus their name doesn't show up in uploads.

Or simply when they upload they tick 'anonymous'. I'm assuming because they don't want people harassing them over their torrents or something along those lines.

I would assume you still get upload credit, yes. Otherwise I don't think anyone would choose to be anonymous.

1) I have noticed on trackers like Waffles and BTN, some people upload as "Anonymous", are they doing this for security reasons? Also, why would there be a need for this on a private tracker?
Yes, for their security. Maybe it will harm their acc if they show nick name when upload.
Otherwise, they don't want to be a silent man. Just want upload and earn credit. Don't want anyone to know them.
2) When you upload as "Anonymous", do you still get upload credit?
Yes, credit is counted although you upload as anonymous.
