Hi.
CONFIG: i just(Aug 2008) installed this (PMBT v1.2.2, rel: Jul 10 2007). Its configured as such : download, upload, etc are allowed only to registered premium & above level users only, and all torrent files were uploaded with different "password", different user have different "passkey". for private/company use only.

QUESTION: how/where can i mention/specify which/who are/will be allowed to download a torrent ?

When i click on the button "Torrents by", it shows list of torrent(s) uploaded by that premium user, will it be possible to mention which users are allowed to download which torrent, furthermore, there ? if thats possible, what will allow to do that ?

if theres no such option, will u please add such feature in future, so that specific user, and user level based on sharing rate, both/any can be set for each individual torrent ?

Thanks, best regards,
~Tareek.

If you enable "Torrent Authorizations" in tracker settings, then users will be able to allow or disallow other users to download their torrents...
Other than that you can only set "Global Minimum Ratio".

hi Revan,
thats great it has the option to do so.

I found that option inside "Administrative menu" -- > "Settings" -- > "Torrent Authorizations".
Tick mark is selected.
Then i clicked on the "Torrents by" button, to see what i have uploaded, there under the "My Global Authorizations", i see ... "There are no Global Authorizations yet".

How can i specify or add user name, where ?

pls be little bit more specific ... which is where, i'm new to this.

Thanks.
~Tareek.

EDIT: i forgot to add this extra info, in the (ajax/JS) tooltip info, next to "Torrent Authorizations", it shows that, the owner of a torrent can either authorize downloads on case-to-case basis, or automatically based on share ratio. to have that work, the option "Tracker Access Level" also needs to be set on "User". but in my case i see only two option there, "Everyone" or "Registered". now its set on "Registered", is it thats why i see no option to specify any users ? i don't want to set to "Everyone", as my site is for personal/private/company use only.

thank Joe,
for showing the option to do that ...
uploader can specify who are allowed to download.
under the torrent name, there is a circular white icon, 5th icon from left, "...authorization", that one allows to specify that.
in that webpage select "private", then user who want to download have to send uploader a download request first, if uploader approves, then downloader can download.
Thanks.
~Tareek.
