Is it possible to transfer files via a bittorrent client, in a way thats private? Maybe I have to install my own "tracker" server. Is this possible? and safe? I was looking at torrents as a general purpose solution to my file transfer problem.

You can set up a private tracker, but I don't think BT will suit your particular problem. BT is best suited to distributing the same large file to a large group of people; it really isn't intended to be used for sending a few files to a single person. |

If you can setup a BT server why can't you set up an FTP server (did i miss something) ? :) |

Yes it is possible with any bittorrent client that has an embedded tracker feature. uTorrent is a good choice as it is very easy on system resources. |
